Jade has been a leader all year and is geared up and ready to go for this week's ECC Championships! Way to go Jade, keep up the great work! CB, a freshman, had a great finish to her first track season with us. Yesterday at the JV ECC Championships, she ended her season with a new PR in the 400 meter run. She beat her previous best by nearly four seconds! Way to go CB, your hard work paid off with a great effort at the last meet of the year!
Jack Geis and Levi Schneider
Milford -Track
Jack, a sophomore, has been a solid performer for us all season long. He is currently competing in all three jump events for us at the varsity level. This past week, he tied his PR's in both the high jump and the pole vault, and nearly the long jump as well. Looking for a breakout meet this week at the ECC Championships for Jack, hoping he can get three new PR's and help the team score some points in the field events! Levi, a freshman, had a great meet to finish off his first year on our track team yesterday at the JV ECC Meet. He anchored both of the sprint relays and was our top performer in the open 100 and 200 meter dashes. Levi had to battle through an injury at the beginning of the season but has done a great job since and yesterday were his best efforts of the season. Way to go Levi!
