The Spartans were back on the track Saturday morning competing in the Somerset County Relays at Ridge HS. In the Girls' Sprint Medley Relay, Immaculata captured victory in heat 1 with a school record time of 4:47.81. Kat Diana (31.0s) led off and handed the baton to Sophia Bischoff (29.4s), who did a great job of gaining ground throughout her leg. Chinonso Morsindi (67.1s) then ran a strong 400m before handing off to Caroline Onderko, who made a dominant move over the final lap to overcome a 30-meter deficit, going from third to first. She finished with an 800m split of 2:40, which represents her second five-second personal record over the last two days: she had just run 2:45 on Thursday night to lower her previous personal record from 2:50.

Three relay teams were able to get on Saturday's scoreboard, as the Boys' 4 x 100m, Boys Sprint Medley Relay, and Girls' Shuttle Hurdle Relay recorded sixth-place finishes to score one point apiece. The Freshmen and Sophomores return to action on Friday, April 21, at Metuchen HS, while the Boys' 4 x 100m and Boys' 4 x 400m will gear up over the next two weeks for the Penn Relays.
