To close out the winter sports cycle, the only teams competing this week were the boys’ and girls’ shuttle hurdles teams. These top athletes were in New York City to participate in the New Balance Nationals Indoor Track Meet.
Boys’ Track: The boys’ team was composed of juniors Will Hopkins, Danny Renwick, and Eli Spevack, and sophomore Harry Smith. Thanks to a running start, their split times were faster than usual, and Spevack and Hopkins checked in around 7.9, Renwick at 8.1, and Smith at 9.1. Their total time was 32.96 seconds, and the team finished second in their heat and 34th overall. Congrats to the boys on another successful trip to Nationals, and to the entire boys’ indoor track team on their splendid season.
Girls’ Track: Running for the girls team were seniors Zoe Smith and Morgan Middleton, junior Brooke Santos, and sophomore Rachel Demmer. Demmer ran in place of senior Elexus Afonso, who has been suffering from a nagging hamstring injury stemming from the State Meet in February. The Lady Bulldogs finished third in their heat and 14th overall with a time of 35.31 seconds. Unfortunately, split times were not available. Congrats to the girls’ shuttle hurdles team on their successful outing at Nationals, and to the entire girls’ indoor track team on their excellent season that gave them another SCC title.
