On Saturday, the Girls’ Track & Field Team traveled to Cuyahoga Heights to compete in the 55th Annual Cuyahoga Relays, where we finished 1st of 7 teams. It was our most exciting meet of the season that came down to the very last event, which we needed to win in order to come away as meet Champions. The fact that the team had 19 PRs and 3 Season Best Relay Times was proof that everyone wanted this win.
Our highlights included:
5th place in the Sprint Medley and two 3rd place finishes in the Shot and the Discus.
We earned 2nd places in the Pole Vault, the 4 x 100, the 4 x 200 and the Distance Medley.
We had six 1st places, starting with the Long Jump, where Annie’s leap of 16’ 7 ½” was not only the longest of the meet, it also moved her to 2nd on the All-Time list.
Our High Jump trio of Shauna, Katy and Millie also brought home 1st place honors
The 4 x 1600 relay of Lucy, Hannah, Shivani and Sandra began the running events with a 1st place and a season best time.
Two events later, the 4 x 800 quartet of Krista, Elena, Margot and Emma came through with another convincing 1st place finish.
A bit of excitement came when our Shuttle team of Christine, Margaux, Gellie and Calli overcame an early spill and came from behind to win at the tape.
Not to be outdone in the excitement category, in the final event of the meet, the 4 x 400, the team of Elena, Emma, Annie, and Calli battled a very strong Heights relay that came down to the last leg of the race and the last 300 meters, where Calli’s gutsy move made a big difference. Not only did we win the race, we recorded our season best time by 6 seconds, with all four Reserve runners posting very nice PRs. It was an exciting way to end a very good meet for us.
Congratulations, Ladies!
Our next meet is our League Meet at Laurel tomorrow.
