The SJA track and field team had a successful first weekend to start their 2015 indoor campaign. On just 3 practices, the Jaguars showed up to Oberlin College with little training but a lot of expectation. The team didn't disappoint as a lot of familiar faces, and some new ones, helped pick up where they left off last spring. Keeping an intentionally abbreviated first meet for health-sake, the Jags entered just 3 events, but were successful in winning all 3.
The season began with Coach Marquard and the pole vaulters. Junior Bridget McGuire won the event with a jump of 9' 0". Next was the 55m dash in which 17 runners competed for the Jags. 7 of those runners qualified to the finals where senior Jenea Adams, and juniors Kye Williams and Monica Hahn finished 1st, 2nd, and 3rd overall. The distance runners were next to take their turn and impressed with 6 full teams running in the 4 x 800m relay. The team of Katie Pellegrino ('17), Sydney Seymour ('18), Maggie Wagner ('17), and Anna Farris ('15) were victorious with a fine time of 11:00.
The team next competes at Youngstown State in two weeks.
