Girls track team sending five girls to state meet

by Carley Bruner

On Saturday, May 16, the girls track team traveled to Hillsdale College to the regional track meet. Many girls had a goal of making it to the state meet, and five girls from Pittsford are fulfilling that goal. No matter what the situation may be, the girls track team has pushed themselves as hard as they can this year and worked their butts off to make it this far.

Girls qualifying for the state meet in individual events are sophomore Jackie Page in the pole vault (8’3”) and 100m hurdles (16.81), sophomore Morgan McFaul in the 3200m run (12:40.08), and junior Elainee Poling in the long jump (15’11. 25”) and the 800m run (2:26.37).

The 3200m-relay team consisting of sophomore Amber Lennox, freshman Jentry McAdams, McFaul, and Poling (10:25.83) also qualified for the state meet.
Though we weren’t able to send girls in more events, they pushed themselves the best they could and tried for their season goals because they wanted to impress everyone. Most of the girls were happy with their overall performance at Regionals. “I was very pleased with myself because I made it to state in the two events that I wanted to go in, the two mile and two mile relay. And our two mile relay team has a really good chance of making the all-state team this year so I am pretty excited for state,” said McFaul.
