The varsity girls competed in a new meet this year, the GR Elite Challenge at Houseman Field in Grand Rapids.
You can find the results here.
As a team, we tied for 2nd overall with Zeeland West. Grand Haven won the meet.
There were a few factors affecting who could compete: injuries and prom to name a few, however, those who were able to go had the opportunity to compete against some new competition. I was not overly concerned about the team score, but was mainly looking to see who would show up and compete well in this venue. Some had good days. Some struggled. We will process this meet on Monday and look ahead to our last OK Red conference dual meet against Grandville on Tuesday.
The top 3 in each relay and elite event earned medals, the top 8 scored for the team. The following earned medals in the meet:
Emma DeNave was 3rd in the mile- running 5:22.76- a PR.
Anna Repesh was 2nd in the 400- running 1:01.23.
Abbey VanAllsburg was 3rd in the 800- running 2:25.77- a PR.
The 4X100 team of Taylor Buis, Jurrien Wilson, Silvia Restucci, and Anna Repesh was 2nd overall- running 53.79.
The 4X800 team of Jenna Maas, Taylor Schott, Iris Swarthout, and Abbey VanAllsburg was 2nd overall- running 10:07.95.
