East Palestine Girls’ Invitational

On Saturday, Girls’ Track & Field travelled to East Palestine to compete in the East Palestine Girls’ Invitational, where we finished in 7^th place out of 11 teams.

The team scored in 10 of the 15 events that we entered, with the following highlights:

Madison was 8^th in the Discus and 7^th in the Shot.

Nina captured 5^th place in the 1600 and Sam earned 6^th in the 800.

Cat was 2^nd in the 400, while Felicity came in 6^th on the 300 hurdles.

All four of our relays scored as follows:

the 4 x 800 was 4^th; the 4 x 200 came in 6^th;

the 4 x 100 was 4^th; and

the 4 x 400 ended the meet with a very exciting 3^rd place

             

The Iron Lady of the meet was Co-Captain Cat Berry who began with a high jump clearance of 4’ 2”, then hustled over to lead off the 4 x 800 (a brand new experience

for her) in a very solid time of 2:40.3, helping the relay to its 4^th place finish.  Cat then toed the line for the open 400, where she captured 2^nd place in 65.2.  She finished her day with another 65.2 as the anchor of our 3^rd place 4 x 400 relay.  Great quadruple.  Congrats to Cat and the rest of the team.

Our next meet is tomorrow (Tuesday) at Laurel.
