Close but not quite

Saint Joes almost pulled off the win, but in the end the cross-river rivals from Magnificat won the annual dual with a score of 72-65. In a separately scored JV, the host Jags scored a convincing 95-42 win. In the varsity competition, SJA had victories in the pole vault by freshman Alex Strasser, the 100 meter hurdles by junior Sarah Schwind, the long jump by junior Brenna McGrath, the 100m dash and 300H by junior MaryKate Caja, the 3200 meter run by Mary Kate Chambers, and the 4 x 200 and 4 x 100 relays. In the JV competition, SJA won 13 of 17 events, with the freshmen class leading the way. The following 9th graders won events against Mags; Victoria Bonca (pole vault), Dina Rini (long jump), Bridget Roche (100H and high jump), Kennedy Gore (100 meter dash), Mallory Fahey (1600m run), Audrianna Farris (400m dash), and Jenea Adams in the 200m dash. Freshmen also strongly contributed to wins in all 4 relays. The lone sophomore to win an event was Alison Rogozinski, who won the 300m hurdles in her very first track meet ever.
