Girls'
1600 meter record
Katherine Wingert 5:03.82
(1500 meter split 4:45.2)
From
her freshman year to her senior year Katherine always gave her races
everything she had, often running four events for team points. For all
four years she was the Harbor League champion in the 800, 1600, and
3200 meter runs.
Now
that more 1500 meter runs are being contested at the high school level
we took a split for that distance during her record 1600 meter race
to establish a 1500 meter school record.
It's safe to say that no other girl has run faster than her split of
4:45.2.
In addition to her 1500 and 1600 records she ran the anchor leg on the record 4x400 relay team.

Previous Record Holder: Jessica Lunt: 5:05.84
From the 10th grade on Jessica Lunt was one of the top 800 and
1600 meter contenders in San Diego. She was also one of the hardest workers
and most coachable athletes I've had the pleasure to work with. I can
still hear some of her teammates complaining that all Jessica had to do
is show up, that she didn't have to train.
What they didn't see was the hundreds of miles she put in during the summer
and winter breaks. I know because I ran them with her. For most of the
time when she was at CHS, track preseason training consisted of Jessica
and her coach running around Coronado. It obviously paid off for her as
she had a great running career at UCSB and still runs today.
