Arcadia...

---A positive experience at the Arcadia Invitational this past weekend, with school records being established in the 4X100(Tia McFarlane, Percylla Nared, Brierra Winfrey, Michelle Wicker), 4X200(Brierra Winfrey, Monica Todd, Alexa Brown, Percylla Nared), and our Distance Medley Relay (1200-400-800-1600) quartet smashing the school best by 25 seconds, with Ximena Cruz(3:44.8 1200), Cassandra Smith(59.5 400), Makenna Smith(2:19.5 800), and Cathryn
Saylor(5:06.2 1600) running an extremely competitive race, finishing sixth out of twenty teams, and neck and neck with the leaders with 600 meters to go. Also, our 4X400 team of freshman Cassandra Smith(60.5), sophomore Alexa Brown(60.8), freshman Jennifer Konishi(59.6), and sophomore Brierra Winfrey(60.2), ran 4:01.23, our best time this season, and won their heat.
Our shuttle hurdle team of Monica Todd, Michelle Wicker, Elizabeth Loper, and Kathryn Loper ran in the invitational race after being an alternate, led the race after two legs, and also established a school record. Individually, kudos to Monica Todd for qualifying for the night meet 300 Hurdles, our only individual to do so, and to Michelle Wicker, who ran 15.39 in the 100 Hurdles to establish another school record. Great job over the weekend by the largest contingent to ever race at the most prestigious high school track and field invitational in the country, and a huge thank you to the parents who support us by simply having their daughters at practice or at Arcadia over Easter Break, if asked, and some were requested to compete at the last minute. Just being there is a huge assistance to our efforts.
Again, thank you..
