Big Day in the High Jump



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)
And there is still one more day to come! Look out for:
  • 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.
So everyone, come on out and watch Chap T&F compete for the last time this season, along with many of the other top competitors from around the state. The weather will be beautiful, and the competition strong.

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
