Mixed results this past weekend

The track team participated in 2 meets this weekend, sending a largely JV level squad to the Trinity Invite on Friday and a varsity group to the Stow Relays on Saturday. The Trinity squad found the weather warm, but the going rough with a 13th place showing out of 15 teams. It should be pointed out they were the only "JV" type team competing against everyone else's varsity. At Stow, the varsity team enjoyed success early, but after a couple of setbacks they finished at 7th place out of 16 teams.
Highlighting the JV meet was the performance of senior Ronnie Colborn and junior Michelle Costanzo who both cleared 8 feet in the pole vault for the first time. Also running well was the 4 x 100 team of all freshmen (Destiny Evans, Maria Coreno, Sarah Stottner, and Jenae Evans).
At Stow, there were 2 second place finishes early as the 4 x 1600m relay team of Mary Kate Chambers, Caitlin Nagy, Alesha Vovk, and Rachel McGuire ran a great race. McGuire had to out-run 3 other teams to secure the 2nd place spot. Also getting 2nd early on was the 4 x 200m relay team of MaryKate Caja, Becca Sedlak, Gab Leon, and Brenna McGrath. McGrath and Sedlak also qualified to the finals in the 100m dash finishing 3rd and 7th respectively. The pole vault relay, despite using different jumpers than Friday night, still finished 3rd overall as well.
Next up is the Berea Relays for the varsity on Friday, and the JV at Avon the following day.
