May is here. Which means Championship Season is on the horizon. The April Relay season was a fun way to get our feet wet but now it's time to pony up and compete with the big dogs with the real prizes on the line. But before we jump ahead, let's look back at our accomplishments from Relay Season. We've had 4 different Relay teams set School Records over the last 2 weeks.
- Boys DMR: 11:30.76 - Somerset County Relays - Harkins (3:26) Lawrence (51.3) Blandino (2:22) Paustian (4:49)
- Boys 4 x 800: 8:51.00 - Randolph Relays - Paustian (2:07) Harkins (2:12) Rizzo (2:13) Jaskolski (2:17)
- Girls SMR: 4:46.90 - Somerset County Relays - McDonough (29.7) Viscione (30.0) Reinhart (65.5) Wehrhahn (2:40)
- Girls 4 x 400: 4:32.94 - Somerset County Relays - Reinhart (65.2) Wehrhahn (68.3) Rogers (68.8) McDonough (70.1)
Additionally, we have found some early success with field events. Tim Albano has become the first ever Immaculata Javelin thrower and has impressed early with a distance of 123-10. That mark would have been good for 6th place at last years NP-B South Sectionals. On the girls side, Sheridan Hoyt and Stephanie Alpizar have teamed to become Immaculata's Girl's Throwing tandem, and Hoyt has already set School Records in the Discus (66-6) and Jav (63-1). And lastly, our resident 'Try every event before Junior year' girl Kelly Griffin has split 18.70 in the 100 hurdles (unofficial but would be over a second better than her own school record of 2017) and become our first ever girls Triple Jumper, successfully jumping 29-5 in her first meet. She has forced herself into the conversation in multiple events leading up to States this year.
Now we look ahead to Conferences, Counties, and States. These meets will define our season. Will 2018 be a year to remember? Who is gonna step up? Who is gonna make the leap? Who is gonna shock the world (well okay not the world but shock some Milesplit nerd who studies all the results)?
Why not you. Why not now.
