On Saturday, January 12th, the Varsity distance runners from
the Girls Indoor Track team competed in the Elm City Invitational in New Haven.
Here is a breakdown of the results:
55 meter Dash
-Senior Anna Sulger placed 4th overall with a time of 7.67
seconds
600
Meter Run
-Sulger placed 2nd overall with a time of 1:37.77
-Junior Kristen Mayhew placed 12th overall with a time of
1:46.06
-Senior Lindsey Holek placed 17th overall with a time of
1:48.42
-Freshman KC Grady placed 40th overall with a time of
1:54.78
1000
Meter Run
-Junior Grace Harmon placed 20th overall with a time of
3:23.03
-Junior Sarah LeHan placed 26th overall with a time of
3:29.35
-Junior Grace Peter placed 28th overall with a time of
3:29.56
-Senior Sam Savage placed 31st overall with a time of
3:30.28
Senior phenom Anna Sulger, a sprinter as well as a
mid-distance runner competed in both the 55m dash and and the 600 meter run.
The 400 meter dash is her forte, so placing 4th overall in the 55 meter dash, a
race not typically run by her, is impressive. In the 600 Meter Run, she came in
2nd to the runner who came in 1st by a mere .77 seconds, a very close race.
Both Mayhew and Holek also had excellent races in the 600 Meter Run and
qualified for the State meet requirement. A time of 1:49 is necessary in order
to run in States. In order to compete in the FCIAC Meet, a time of 1:55.24 is
needed. A new freshman to the team, KC Grady, qualified for the FCIAC Meet and
was able to prove her true potential. In the 1000 Meter Run, Harmon qualified
for States, while both Lehan and Peter qualified for FCIACS. Savage missed the
FCIAC mark by just .28 seconds, but her main event (and one in which she has
already qualified for) is the 1600 meter, which she did not compete in this
week. The meet results are extremely exciting because of the great performances
led by all ages of the team. The Girls Indoor Track Team’s next race is the
Yale Invitational that will be raced on both Friday, January 16th and Saturday
January 17th. The Developmental Meet at Staples is also that Saturday.
