Last night the varsity girls competed at the GVSU Big Laker Challenge. It is not a team scored event. It is a chance for some of the athletes to get their competitive juices flowing against other teams. The top 8 in each event earned medals. We had a great day overall! Official results/times should be posted on athletic.net today.
Medalists:
Jasmine Correa in the shot put (7th) and disc (4th). She broke our 10th grade record in disc!
The 4x600 relay was 5th- Abby Olson, Natalie Blake, Emily Laird, and Mady VanWieren
Abby Olson took 1st in the mile!
It was a HUGE day for our young sprinters- we've never had anyone place in the 60m dash before.
Ana Beach was 4th overall and Lauren Coppersmith was 5th
They also both placed in the 200m dash- Ana was 2nd and Lauren was 8th.
Mady VanWieren was 4th overall in the 800 run.
The 4x300 relay was 4th- Taylor Schott, Lucy Groothuis, Jurrien Wilson, and Emily Laird.
I'm looking forward to seeing the what the whole team can do this spring!
NEW MEET ADDED- I've been trying to get into the Rocket Invite the past few years, there was a last minute opening, so we added it to our schedule. The meet will be Friday April 12th- It will primarily be for the varsity athletes. It will give us a chance to compete against some schools we don't normally see. It will be a great opportunity for the girls.
