The first day of regionals played out as expected...just a few seconds either way could mean the difference between reaching finals/podium or not.
The 4 x 800, missing senior Caitlin Nagy, ran valiantly but finished off the podium in 11th place. The 100H and 100m dash were equally difficult and SJA had no qualifiers reaching the finals on Friday.
Spirits were lifted when the District Champ 4 x 200 team qualified to the finals using their 3rd different relay in as many races.
Brenna McGrath and Becca Sedlak both ran their second best times ever in the 200 and 400 respectively, but it wasn't quite enough to make the final. The 4 x 100m relay team also saw its season end in the prelims by finishing outside the top 8 times.
MaryKate Caja did run well enough in the 300 hurdles to make her first Regional final ever. Also, the 4 x 400m relay team of Maddie Zimmerman, Becca Sedlak, Rachel McGuire, and Brenna McGrath qualified to the finals as well with a season-best time of 4:02.
Along with those events on Friday, SJA will also have athletes in the discus, pole vault, long jump, 800m, 1600m, and 3200m runs. Field events begin at 4:00 and running events at 5:00pm.
