Another busy weekend filled with bright performances

Friday was Paws for Pride day at SJA, so a lot of energy had already been used up during the week and during the cheering, but some athletes saved enough to turn in strong performances over the weekend.
The JV travelled to Olmsted Falls Friday night after P4P and competed against a strong varsity field. Highlighting the day were the field events including the pole vault, shot put and discus. Sarah Schwind cleared 8 feet for the first time in PV while both Victoria Bonca and Alexis Bloor earned or tied PRs at 7 feet. All 3 discus and shot putters set personal bests including; Nicole Zalewski and Ashley Robinson in both events as well as Rita Hanna in the shot and Maureen Borden in the discus.
Saturday the majority of the varsity competed at the Westlake Relays where the team finished 2nd place overall to the host school. The distance squad ran well by winning the 4 x 1600m and distance medley relays while also notching a 2nd place in the 4 x 800.
The varsity sprinters competed at the Optimist Meet at Austintown Fitch where the 4 x 200 relay finished 4th overall, Brenna McGrath qualified to the finals and finished 7th in the 200, and MaryKate Caja qualified to finals and finished 7th in the 300m hurdles.
Next for the JV is a final meet at Woodridge High School on Monday, May 7th while the varsity begins to rest up for next week's district meet. A mix of JV and varsity may compete at the All-Catholic meet on Saturday May 12 at VASJ in Euclid.
