Thanks for all who came out on a beautiful Friday night to watch an exciting meet! We are very proud of our girls and the way they competed against some very good teams There were many highlights for the Pioneers ... We placed second out of 23 teams losing only to perennial track powerhouse Springfield Southeast. Our 4 x 800 team of Amber Nanni, Madigan Landess, Shannan Supan and Ashley LaFayette won while posting the best 2A time in the state so far this year running 9:40.23. Chante Stonewall also set a Class 2A state best time in the 300 Hurdles running 44.86. Chante also won the 100 Hurdles. She joined Spencer Smiley, Micayla Matheison and Nia Gilbert in a season best 4 x 200, nearly 2 seconds faster than state qualifying time. I could go through the line up and list season and personal bests for almost every single athlete but will spare you some reading ... The coaching staff is very proud of our athletes and the way they represented University High School!

Meet notes:
Athletes assigned to Central Catholic are responsible for getting to the meet on their own. Field events start at 4:30p so those athletes need to get there early to warm up. All athletes should be there by 4p. Running begins at 515.
Please be sure to bring warm clothes and a blanket to the meets. The temperature after dark will drop dramatically and the winds may be in the 20 -25 miles per hour range.
Coach Hampton will be at the CCHS meet while the rest of the coaching staff will be at Oly.
Let me know if you have questions ... this will be our last split meet day. Thanks so much for your patience!
