Better Late than Never!!!



Sorry for the delay in reporting from the conference championships. Blogger website was down for a while and I couldn't post.

We had six all conference performances at the outdoor championship meet including three runner up finishes and three third place finishes.

Alyssa Abbott (1500), Bree LeRoy (Heptathlon), and Angie Kaplar (100m hurdles) were all second place finishers. Amanda Mergaert (1500), Anneli Stahl (hammer), and Langley Iverson (high jump) were third.

LeRoy (pictured above with American Great Lolo Jones) totaled 18.5 team points as she scored in all five events she competed in (Hept, LJ, HJ, Jav, and 100m hurdles). Mergaert complete a tough 1500/800 double by finishing 5th in the latter event.

Overall, our team competed hard. Several underclassmen continued to gain experience at a high level meet. We will have seven athletes who will move on to the West Region First Round of the NCAA Championships. First and Second round competition for the West region will begin on May 26th in Eugene, OR at Historic Hayward Field.
