STAL Finals

Hey All,

Great Meet, honestly we couldn't ask for anything better well maybe some 6th places turning to 5ths but...haha (we had Ashlynn in the 100h, Lauren in the LJ, Dominic in the TJ, & Catherine in the 100 all finished in the dreaded 6th spot, as we know only the top 5 advance) Of course Ashlynn, Dominic and Catherine all PRed and Lauren had her 4 longest jumps of the season so lets not get too gready haha.

So the good news, everyone who was ranked in the top 5 going into the meet advanced, on top of that we had a couple people who were ranked outside the top 5 step up and advance as well. Chelsie went from ranked 13th out of 15 runners to 4th place in the 3200. Jada went from 8th in the HJ to 4th. Sosebee went from 9th to 5th in the LJ and from 6th to 3rd in the HJ. So our team is bigger than we expected it to be which is awesome.

Next the great news, we had 38 PRs. This brings our season total up to 236, our goal is 250. Could it happen at BVAL? Full list here.

Also we had 2 school records. Jada broke the Frosh Soph Girls 300h school record with a 49.52 and Catherine, Pauline, Erika and Lauren broke their own school record with a 50.14 in the 4*100.

Other notes from meet:

Stephanie, Jacob, and the guys 4 by 4 all won league titles (Viz, Daw, Eric and Montoya).

Daw had 4 events he won 2 of them (HJ & 4 by400). Got second in the other 2 (400 & 4 by100)

Jacob, Erika, and Pauline advanced in 4 events.

Chelsie had 3 huge PRs. 8 seconds in the 800, 8 seconds in the 1600 and a minute and 2 seconds (13:46-> 12:44) in the 3200. An awesome meet for her.

Taylor "Santiago" Howard - got 9th on Tuesday with a PR, then the 8th place person dropped out so he got into finals and took advantage going from a 46.32 to a 44.98. Both were PRs.

TJ advanced in 3 events, the only one he didn't advance in, he got a PR by over a foot (SP).

Our 3 100 hurdlers Aly, Ashlynn and Tula were ranked 9,10 and 11th going in to the meet and all 3 made the finals.

2nd Year in a row all 4 relay teams advanced.

Like I said Great job everyone. See you at the track- Coach Mike
