Great performances at the Winter Festival!

Madison Ward won the High Jump as the only one to clear 5'3". She proved that just because it's early in the season, she can still step up her game! Sydney Snow finished 2nd in the 1000 with a strong early season time of 3:02.70. Both Emma Guccione & Kelly Alves placed 3rd in the 300 and Shot Put respectively.  Emma had over a second PR of 42.51, and broke the school record!!  Kelly tossed the Shot Put 33'3".  All of the above easily qualified for D4's with their performances - way to go ladies!

Two underclassmen also finished in the top 10 in the High Jump - Freshman Rebecca Stevens placed 8th with a D3 qualifying jump of 4'11" and Caroline Ward cleared 4'10" to place 9th in the meet.

Rick Brown placed 8th in the 300 and also punched his ticket to the D4 meet.

I will attempt to update times of the other athletes tomorrow morning - if time allows.
