SJA track and field runs into heavy competition

On Friday of last week the varsity track and field team faced its toughest competition of the year at the Berea Relays.  The Jaguars finished a respectable 5th in a field of 15 teams behind powerhouses Medina, Brunswick, Amherst, and North Royalton.  The Jags didn't pull home any victories, but 4 x 200 meter relay team of MaryKate Caja ('13), Becca Sedlak ('14), Gab Leon ('14), and Brenna McGrath ('13) did manage a second place finish.  A couple of third places were earned as well in the shuttle hurdles (Caja, Bridget Roche '15, Monica Hahn '16, Ky Williams '16), and the Distance Medley Relay (Zimmerman '14, Emilee Armbruster '13, Alesha Vovk '14, Rachel McGuire '14).

On Saturday, the JV team took on some varsity competition at the Cleveland Central Catholic Ironman Invitational.  Overall, the team took second behind Trinity's varsity squad.  Complete results of individual results were not announced at the meet, so proper recognition will have to be saved for later.

The team next competes this Friday at Westlake Relays for a mostly varsity squad and the Olmsted Falls Relays for a mostly JV squad.
