2 March 2019: First Meet of the Season, Mt. Carmel Field and Distance


It rained off and on for the duration of our first meet of the season, the Mt. Carmel Field and Distance Invitational. In spite of that, we had a few good results. Last year’s State Champ in the long jump, Alysah Hickey, dominated with the Section Leading leap of 19 feet even, followed by Ruthie Grant-Williams in eighth place with 16 feet 1 inch.  Both girls scratched the high jump, even though they were the favorites, because of a slippery takeoff area. Victoria Perez, who holds the school records for both the shot put and discus throw, placed third in both events with a 33 foot 7-inch heave for the shot and a 102 foot 3-inch sling for the discus.  Soph Sofia Van Arsdale had a nice run on the fast 800 heat with a third-place finish in 2:23.3. The Hundley Sisters both ran the 1600 with Madden clocking 5:25.3 and Abigail finishing in 5:40.2. Madden came back to run the 3200 in 11:52.9 for 10th place behind Teresa Perez’s fifth-place finish in 11:28.3. Our only boy runner featured Brad Busby who clocked 10:41.4 for the 3200-meter run.
