This Spring our GRS students have been putting in hard work and running into great success in Track and Field. Read more below about just a few of the amazing things our students have been up to this spring:
In the 110 Hurdles: Oskar R and Emmet G both ran great times for their first time doing the hurdles. They also ran the 300 Hurdles where Oskar is 4th in school history and Emmet is 10th in school history. Congratulations!
In his first ever 1600 meter run, Alexander Jacobson ran a 6 minute 44 second race in very tough weather conditions. Amazing time and perseverance!
In the girls 400, Onya Vandarcia ran a 1:10.14 400 (one time around the track) she is 2nd in school history and is only 4 seconds off the school record which she will hit when the weather is nicer. Onya also ran a very solid 200 meter dash as well.
Ever the go-getter, Jamal Randle had a busy day on the track running the 100, 200 and the 4x4 relay. Jamal is a key part of the tigers roster as he is known to run and fill into any event asked of him (no more than 400).
In her first Varsity meet ever, Aliyah Randle found success in the throwing events where she not only beat juniors and seniors, but also broke the 8th grade school record in the shot put! This is a huge accomplishment for her!
Last but not least, Asata and Aima Portwood will be competing in next week's battle for the school record. What sister will get the record? And Desirae Pederson will make her Track and Field Debut on Thursday, April 25th so come out and cheer her on!

Thank you all for your support and continued cheering for the track and field athletes.
