The track team ventured to VASJ last Saturday to participate in the NEO All-Catholic track and field meet for girls. The purpose of this meet mostly is to function as a final tune-up for the district meet this coming week.
SJA had a solid day across the board including a handful of varsity letter winning performances, some great PR's, and a meet record.
Starting the day off strong was freshman Bridget Roche who leaped an incredible 5'0" in the high jump to finish 2nd place. Fellow freshman Sarah Reardon performed well in the long jump with a personal best of 14'8". The day continued strongly as MaryKate Caja and Sarah Schwind both made finals in the 100m dash and 100H respectively. Mel Ward PR'd in the 1600 finishing 4th, while the 4 x 100m relay team dropped a full second off their time from last week. The 400 proved exciting as junior Brenna McGrath became just the 3rd girl in school history to break the 60 second barrier in that event.
The next event was even more exciting as Caja came back to set a big personal record and meet record in the 300H. In the 200m dash, both Gab Leon and Jenea Adams broke the 28 second barrier for the first time.
Jill and Jessica Bresnahan has to sprint the last lap, but both twins broke the 12:45 lettering standard for the first time ever. Finishing the meet off on a high note was the 4 x 400 meter relay team who finished 3rd with a great time of 4:11.
