This past weekend the name of the game was Depth for the Saint Joseph Academy track and field team as they finished 3rd out of 7 teams at the Lakewood Ranger Relays Friday night and came back to finish 5th out of 11 teams at Bedford on Saturday with a completely different squad. All this despite over 30 athletes being on vacation and unavailable.
At Lakewood, which was mostly a varsity level squad, the distance and middle distance crews showed their mettle by winning the 4 x 1600, 4 x 800, and distance medley relays. Involved in those were wins; Melanie Ward, Jill Bresnahan, Jessica Bresnahan, Mary Kate Chambers, Caitlin Nagy, Audrianna Farris, Mallory Fahey, and Maggie Boyer. Both Boyer and Chambers (twice) had to secure the victory in close battles as the anchors for their relays.
Also turning in a fantastic first place was the 4 x 200 meter relay team of; MaryKate Caja, Caitlin Nagy, Becca Sedlak, and Brenna McGrath.
Coming back on Saturday, the team was bolstered by the appearance of the China trip students who weren't sure what time zone they were in, but still managed to run well. Despite not winning a single event all day, SJA continued to collect 3rd, 4th, and 5th place finishes for valuable team points. The shuttle hurdle relay team of Sarah Schwind, Nicole Zalewski, Emma Wolpert, and Bridget Roche notched third place metals as well as the distance medley team of Melissa Jackson, Brittany Hennings, Morgan Reminder, and Bridget Egan.
Next is the annual dual meet with Magnificat - pole vault is Tuesday at St. Eds at 5:30pm followed by the main meet at Lutheran West Wednesday at 5:00pm.
