Ladies----
Although you are all resting at this time (right???!!!???), I thought I'd send along these thoughts about tomorrow's meet.
As I mentioned today at practice, there are 16 (not 17) teams registered for the Invitational, and a good number of them are quite good. I submit, however, that if we perform at the level of our best results so far this year, we have an outstanding chance of scoring in a good number of the 17 events. Just believe in yourselves and give it your all!!
Nothing to it but to do it!!!!!!
See y'all at breakfast tomorrow morning

On Saturday, the WRA girls’ track team traveled to Perry High School to participate in the Perry Relays, where we finished 2nd out of the 7 teams competing in our division. Scoring well in all 14 of the events contested allowed the ladies to come away with the Runner-up Trophy this year. In addition to the half-dozen individual PRs and season-best performances, the highlights were:

--Capturing 1st place honors were:
Sprint Medley relay of Chevonne, Carley, Daisy and Maria;
4 x 200 quartet of Chevonne, Daisy, Annie and Calli; and the Long jump relay of Annie Carter, Christine Orosz and Millie Spitzer. Annie tied for the longest jump of the meet.
--Iron Woman of the meet:
Emma Horgan, who ran a season best anchor of 2:36 in the 4 x 800 and came back to run a 6-flat in the 1600 of the DMR.
Outstanding job, Ladies!!!

Longstreth Final Results
On Saturday, the Girls' Track team hosted the 55th Annual Longstreth Relays, where we finished in 3rd place out of 7 teams, one of our best finishes in several years.
A few of the highlights included:
We earned 2nd place in the pole vault with our duo of Callie and Lucy , while Annie, Milli, and Christine combined to capture another 2nd in the long jump. Annie's jump of 15' 5 1/2" was the longest jump of the meet and places her just 4 inches out of the All-Time Top 5.
We had 4 different relay groups score 3rd places in their events. These included the Shuttle Hurdle quartet of Christine, Gelli, Margaux, and Calli; the 4 x 200 that consisted of Chevonne, Daisy, Annie, and Calli; the 4 x 800 foursome of Krista, Margot, Elena, and Emma; and finally, the 4 x 400 team of Elena, Maria, Christine, and Calli.
While we had several girls who posted nice doubles, our iron lady for the meet was co-captain Calli, who contributed to the 2nd place pole vault and three 3rd places.
Great job, overall, ladies!
Our next meet is at home tomorrow against Canton Central Catholic.

Crestwood Highlights
On Saturday, April 2, the Girls' Track & Field team marked its first competition on the season at the Don Faix Invitational at Crestwood High School. We entered only 9 of the 16 events, placing in 6 of them.
Our 4x800 team of Sandercock, Warner, Cummins, and Horgan came in 8th, while the 4x100 relay of Anderson, Stewart, Ogede, and Carter captured 6th place. The 4x200 foursome of Anderson, Ogede, Carter, and McKenna finished in 5th place and McKenna ran to a 6th place finish in the 300 hurdles.
Other highlights included a nice double from Emma Horgan, who ran 2:43.3 anchor on the 4x800 and came back to clock a 2:41.9 in the 800. Freshman Annie Carter also had a nice double with a 27.7 leg of the 4x200 and a 12.7 anchor on the 4x100. Although their event was not included in the scoring, sophomore Shivani Shah and freshman Halle Sovich ran the JV 1600 and turned in solid times of 6:47.3 and 6:47.5, respectively.
Considering that this was our first meet and we took only a partial squad, this was a nice job, Ladies. Our next meet is our very own Longstreth Relays this coming Saturday, April 9.

excited to begin our 2011 campaign
After a week of hard training (post break), our team is looking forward to its first meet at Crestwood. For the newer members of the team, this might be somewhat intimidating because of the caliber of competition. The veterans are used to it, therefore, we expect them to relax the young ones. The meet should give the team an early gauge of where we are and where we need to be for the rest of the season. We are excited to begin our 2011 campaign.
