This past Tuesday and Thursday, the Hurricanes track team competed in the CVC Metro Division Track Championships. Many of the Hurricanes reached the metal stand as their hard work paid off on one of the biggest stages.
Junior Jenna Young battled Lutheran West’s Evelyn Albers to win the high jump conference title. They both cleared 5’4” but Jenna was awarded the victor because of her fewer missed attempts. Young also came out on top in the 100-meter dash with a time of 16.39. Additionally, she placed second in the long jump, reaching out to 16’ and 2.5”. As if this was not enough, the junior sensation placed fourth in the 300-meter hurdles with a final time of 53.85.
Great job, Jenna!
Junior Chavon Holton was able to set a new personal record in the 110-meter hurdles with a time of 17.01 which secured him a second place finish. Also, Holton was awarded Second Team ALL CVC.
Well done, Chavon!
Other notable placers for the Hurricanes were senior Ashley Chong, who placed fourth in the high jump with a personal best of 4’6”. Junior Lexi Fecko placed seventh in the 200-meter dash with a personal best time of 30.62. Junior Alex Chiclana placed fifth in the 110-meter hurdles with a time of 17.47. To round out other positive performers, sophomore Santana Sammons placed sixth in the 100-meter dash with a time of 11.49.
Great job to all of our Hurricanes athletes who are constantly displaying what it takes to compete at a high level and who are also willing to put in the time and effort to see personal growth.
Good luck in the upcoming district track meet. Go Canes!
