This year the Blue Wave Girls Indoor Tack accomplished
something they never have before. They wons the Triple Crown: FCIAC Champions,
Class L State Champions, and State Opens champions. Before this year Indoor Track had never done better than
fourth place in State Opens. Even after a very successful year and banquet
behind them, seven of the runners aren’t done yet.
Senior Grace Loh, juniors Dillon Schoen, Leah Hotchkiss, and Catherine Lacy, and sophomores Maddie Schneider, Anna Sulger and Anne Johnston
are hoping to continue their winning streak at New Englands in Boston on March
2nd and Nationals at the Armory in New York City on March 8th and
9th.
At New Englands, On Saturday March 2nd, Lacy will
be competing in the long jump, the same event that she came in first at State
Opens. Hotchkiss will be competing in the high jump. Loh will be running the
1000m, Schoen will be running the 600m, and Sulger will be running the 300m.
Finally, Sulger, Schoen, Schneider, and Lacy will be running the 4x200 relay.
At Nationals, On Friday the 8th Loh, Sulger,
Schoen and Johnston will be running the distance medley. Then on Saturday the 9th, Sulger and Schoen will return along with Schneider and Lacy to run the 4x200
relay, the same relay in which the girls broke the school record in at State
Opens.
Schneider has high hopes. “I am really excited just to be
going to both competitions. I know we are going to try our hardest and
hopefully we will do well.”
