At today's state meet our two, that's right 2, girls represented very well with a 5th place finish for Paige Follett and an 8th place finish for Katrina Bacovcin. They jumped 5'3" and 5'1" respectively. In a field so stacked with great competitors (the winner jumped 5'8"--insane!) these ladies should be very proud of themselves, and how they finished a very good season.
The high jumpers were not the only ones seeing great successes to this point in the weekend. Here is a short list of those who have placed so far:
- Julia C., 2nd place, discus
- Brendon A., 4th place, discus (PR of 163'+)
- Keegan V., 8th place, 3200m (PR and new school record)
- Caroline H, 3200m (did not make the podium, but a very impressive race that was both a PR and new school record)
- Boys 4x800m, 8th place (to my understanding a new PR for the foursome)
- Girls 4x200m, 8th place (New PR for this foursome as well, and an awesome, awesome, awesome race by all 4 runners)
- Julia C. in the ladies shot put at 9:30am. Julia is ranked 2nd and is still peaking off of some awesome performances in the last two weeks.
- Paige F. in the ladies triple jump at 12:00pm. Paige is ranked 4th in this event and is primed to move up.
- Keegan V. in the boys 1600m. Keegan has run some awesome races so far, and is set-up for another great one.
Well it is almost over, and it is that time of year where I have to decide on whether I'm sad it's over, or if I should be happy that it happened. Whatever the case, it has been a great year. Thank you to everyone that has been a part of it.
Nack
