Girls Indoor Track Team Races at Yale Invitational

by Caroline McKay

Friday, 1/17, members of the Girls Indoor Track team raced at a Yale Invitational meet. The meet continued onto Saturday, 1/18.

Darien came in 10th for Connecticut schools in the 4x800 meter relay. Sophomores Caroline O’Brien, Grace Harmon, Kristen Mayhew, and junior Kate Halabi ran that relay. Darien came in 4th in the 4x200 meter relay, a group consisting of juniors Anna Sulger and Elizabeth Fucigna and seniors Brittany Henry and Dillon Schoen.

“The Yale track is the only banked track in Connecticut, and it was really cool to run on because it allows for more speed and bounces, giving runners more spring. Watching some of the best runners in the state was amazing, and the meet was rapid fire, with heats starting continually,” junior Kate Halabi said.

Catch the girls’ FCIAC meet Wednesday, 1/29 at 4:30 pm at Floyd Little Athletic Center.
