On April 21 the JH girls track team traveled to Belle Plaine and continued to make more improvements. The young Bravettes ran in fair weather conditions and gathered 83.5 team points for a 4th place finish among 8 teams.
The young team had five first place finishes on the night. Alex Brenner was strong in discus, bringing home a first place finish. The 4x200 relay that consists of Keira Blanke, Katie Maschmann, Clara Johnson, and Mackenzie James finished 12 seconds ahead of the second place team.
The 4x100 relay team; Blanke, Mashmann, Alisha Arendt, and James ran a solid 59 seconds to also come in first. Maschmann remains undefeated in the 200-meter hurdles and James is undefeated in the open 200.
Another highlight of the evening was Aliya Pargeon cutting eight seconds off her mile time in just one week. Maschmann also placed 3rd in the long jump with James coming in right behind her in 4th.
Coach Ashley Rief commented, “Every meet the girls are going out there and trying their best and you can see that in our points. I am so proud of the girls and am looking forward to the rest of the season, hopefully with better weather.”
