On March 32st, at the Elmer Runge Invitational at Patrick Henry, Sarah Player served notice she’s back by winning the 100-meter hurdles in school record time of 16.15. She also won the 300-meter hurdles in one of the top times of the season county-wide in 46.32. Immediately afterwards, she came back in the 200-meter dash to win going away in a new school record time of 25.55. She also placed second in the high jump with a jump of 5-l. For all of this, she was named Female Track Athlete of the meet.

In the inaugural Thom Hunt Mile, Privett placed third with a personal record of 5:16.32. The mile is about 10 yards longer than the 1600-meter run, which is the distance usually run in high school. This time converts to a 5:14.5 for the 1,600, one of the top times in the county so far this season. Davies finished 11th in the same race, also with a personal record of 5:41.01, the equivalent to a 5:39 run for 1600 meters.

Scales won her heat of the 100-meter dash in 13.42; Giorgione received her first taste of invitational-level pole vaulting, and cleared 7 feet; Grimes ran 57.37 and 2:14 in the 400 meters and 800 meters respectively; Twomey tripled jumped 38-1 to finish 11th and Brown placed second in both the triple jump and long jump events behind Gary Lee of Hoover, one of the county’s top jumpers.”
