Celebrating the last day of camp

After training hard for five days during our mini-camp, a few of the ladies enjoyed milkshakes in the MAC.

Cuyahoga Relays at Cuyahoga Heights High School

On Saturday, Girls’ Track & Field competed in the Cuyahoga Relays at Cuyahoga Heights High School.  We finished in 3rd place and again had numerous personal best personal best performances.  These were our highlights:

Co-Captain Annie got things off to a record-breaking start by jumping 17 feet, 2 ¼  inches, which not only established a new WRA record but also broke the previous meet record. She was joined by Sophie and Erin in capturing 1st place in the long jump.

The high jump trio of Sophie, Cat and Maya finished in 2nd place with the highest jump total we have had in over 10 years.

Rounding out the field events, we claimed 3rd place in the pole vault and 4th place in both the shot and the discus.

Our top finishes in the running events came with a 3rd place in the 4 x 100; a 1st in the shuttle hurdle relay and in the final event, the 4 x 400, we were edged out right at the tape and finished in 2nd.

Great job, ladies.  Our next meet is this coming Saturday at East Canton.

Ladies: Don’t forget our team feed right after practice this afternoon.

Perry Relays

This past Saturday, the girls traveled to Perry High School to compete in the Perry Relays, where we finished in 4th place overall. While we scored in 13 of the 14 events and had over a dozen Season Best performances, these were our highlights:

Earning 3rd place finishes were the 4 x 1600 team of Irina, Sophie N., Molly and Abby; the Shuttles foursome of Halle, Sophie A., Jelly, and Annie; the 4 x 200 relay of Erin, Emily, Catherine and Wade-Watta; and finally the 4 x Iron ladies  with Ainsley, Victoria, Madison and Maya.

The high jump duo of Sophie and Catherine were second, with Sophie tying for the best jump in our division.  In fact, her 5 – foot clearance was the highest jump of a WRA girl in 7 years. Finally, our 4 x 400 quartet of Catherine, Emily, Annie and Wade-Watta capped off the meet for us with a 1st place finish.

Congratulations, Ladies!
