Last Thursday evening, February 4th, the Blue Wave girls’ track and field team competed in the FCIAC Championship at Hillhouse High School in New Haven. The grand indoor facility did not intimidate the team, but definitely rose the stakes of the night.
The girls’ team had seventeen seasonal bests at the FCIAC race. A few highlight performances included senior Laine Blummer’s fourth place in the shotput, throwing 28’ 8.5". Senior Mahoghany Dolberry achieved a whopping three personal records, in the shot, as well as long and high jumps.
Although the team did not place highly overall, there were a lot of incredible individual races run, especially on the distance team. The medley relay team achieved its PR (senior Sarah Hadlow, freshmen Lauren Sulger, Marley Garfield and Cameron Appleby) and the 4x200 relay team ran its fastest time of its season (juniors Laurie Travagliani and Jillian Clements, freshmen Emily Aysseh and Eva Finn).
In total, the girls team qualified for 21 events at CIACs.
Please come see and cheer on both the girls and boys BWTF team at States this Saturday, February 13th, again at Hillhouse, starting at 10 a.m.
