We had three good performances in the girls 800 meter run. Ashlyn Sanderson ran a Personal Best time of 2:36.89 placing her 3rd. Molly came in with a time of 2:37 and barely being beat out by Ashlyn. Rosa came in with a solid race time of 2:40.59. All three girls, not only scored major points for us, but also ran their best times of the year.

  • The girls 4×100 team made up of Molly, Ava, Elly Collins and Matea Ivory placed 1st. With better hand offs this week we continue to get better. Their time of 51.95 was nearly 3 seconds better than everyone else.

A fun and high note for our girls team was the Throwers 4×100 meter relay. This team was made up of runners who didn’t run an open event but rather had only competed in field events. Hailee Huddleston, Hayley Watson, Aislinn Davis and Talitha Zelaya placed 1st in this event and each girl received a gold baton for placing 1st.

With lots of top 8 finishes, our girls team was able to place 2nd overall to a game Bellevue Christian team who scored over 100 team points. We look forward to another tough week of practice and finishing up our last regular season track meet at Royal on May 4th.

After that we have a Track meet May 9th for the CTL League meet in Peshastin and May 17th is the District qualifier for State. Thank you again for all of the support this year and I hope that we get to see more of you during the next 3 weeks. Go Goats
