Tuesday night the entire track and field team traveled to Gilmour Academy for a meet with the perennial Division III power Lancers. New Day Academy, a new charter school in Euclid also participated which made the scoring greater. SJA walked away with a 104-65 victory over Gilmour.
With many great performances in hand, the day was highlighted by a new school record in the 200m dash by junior Brenna McGrath. Typically hand-times are not used for school records, but Brenna's time of 26.0 seconds was a record by .65 seconds making the room for error nearly impossible.
Also winning in big fashion for SJA was MaryKate Caja in both the 100 meter hurdles as well as a big personal best in the 300 meter hurdles. SJA also won the 4 x 100 and 4 x 200 meter relays. In thrilling fashion, freshman Mallory Fahey won the 3200 in her first attempt ever at that distance. Freshman Dina Rini won the long jump, sophomore Alesha Vovk won the high jump, and McGrath also won the 100 meter dash.
The team next competes in 3 different meets this weekend; at Olmsted Falls for the JV on Friday, and at Westlake Relays Saturday for the varsity. Four members of the team are running at the Optimist Relays at Austintown Fitch on Saturday.
