The best collective performance by a group of girls' track and fieldathletes since I have been the head coach was performed last Saturday at the
Orange County Track And Field Championships. The varsity team placed fifth,
and the frosh-soph was third in the team competition. Sophomore Monica Todd
continued her torrid assault on the 300 meter hurdle school record,
scorching a 44.29 to place second, and in the process ran the third fastest
300 hurdle time in the thirty- year history of the meet. Monica also was
Orange County champion in the long jump by over a foot, and ran the anchor
leg of the 400 meter relay, a near school record 49.32, good for third
place. Also highlighting the day was senior Kristin Arkin becoming the first
female in school history to break five minutes for 1600 meters, running
4:59.43, good for fifth place. Other varsity medal winners were Tia McFarlane(400 relay), Percylla
Nared(400 relay, 100 meters), Sarah Johnson(400 relay), and Jerrilynn
Stanwood(Discus). Medal winners for the frosh-soph were Brierra Winfrey(100,
200), Alexa Brown(100), Jessica Varela(3200), Makenna Smith(3200), Elizabeth
Loper(High Jump, 100 Hurdles), Michelle Wicker(100 Hurdles), Stephanie
Smith(Long Jump, Triple Jump), Melissa Christiansen(High Jump), Hannah
Greenhalgh(Pole Vault), and Tanya Flink(Pole Vault).
