GHS track team runs at OVHS

Friday, April 15, 2016

SPENCER -- This week's weather finally permitted the Greencastle track team a chance to compete. The Tiger Cubs took on ran at Owen Valley with Monrovia and the girls' walked away victorious taking first with 96 over Owen Valley's 38 and Monrovia's 24.

The Tiger Cub boys however came in third in the tight race with Owen Vally winning with 55, Monrovia scoring 54 and Greencastle scoring 47.

"After two meets being canceled, we were able to get in a triangular meet with Owen Valley and Monrovia at Owen Valley. The weather was fantastic compared to our first meet. Both the boys' team and girls' team competed at nearly 100 percent," Tiger Cubs coach Garry Anderson said. "There were several PR's throughout the meet. Starting with the girl throwers we were able to place three of our girls in the top four. All three had personal best throws. Not to be out done by the throwers the girl high jumpers placed three jumpers also. The runners opened up the meet with a new season best in the 4x800 relay composed of three freshman and one sophomore. I was really pleased to see this type of competition from all of our girls in all of the remaining events."

The Greencastle girls' were remarkable taking first in 11 of the 15 events. Emma Wilson, the freshman who placed eighth in the cross country state meet, took first in two events and anchored the 4x800 relay team with Arianna Pershing, Mika Mozawa and Sydney Lewis. They took first with a time of 10:37.

Katerina King and Rose Lemiere-Maurichitch took first and second in both the 100 and 200-meter dashes while Corrine Romer and Allison White went one and two in the 400-meter dash. Seelye Stoffregen took first in the 300 hurdles and she ran the first of leg of the first-place winning 4x4 team with Lemiere-Maurichitch, White and Wilson.

Mia Stevens took the win in the shot put with a throw of 35-07.

"The freshman girls really had as standout night," Anderson said. "Seelye Stoffregen had a very respectable time for her run in the 300 hurdles. Her time of 48.16 is a great time to have this early in the season. She was quite excited about the time and will work hard to improve on that race the remainder of the season. Mika Mozawa, another freshman, won the 800 run with a good time of 2:44. Freshman Emma Wilson continued to lead the way in the 1600 and 3200 races. She had personal best times in both events--5:14 and 11:13 respectfully. All the coaches were pleased with the three relays as we were able to get good times in all three events."

The Tiger Cub boys earned wins in three events including the 4x8 relay team of Jacob Crawley, Cameron Lewis, Ben Gellman and Jacob Lewis. Crawley took first in the 800-meter run and JT Matthews won the high jump at 6 feet.

"The boys were fighting throughout the night. The meet was close at the end and was that way all evening. There were several spots we could have picked up a few points to make the evening a bit more enjoyable but that did not happen," Anderson said. "Our field events were a little spotty. We know we can do better as the season progresses. I thought Clayton Wilson and Braden Pershing raced well in both the 1600 and the 3200. They got some help in the 3200 from sophomore Ben Gellman with his fourth place finish. J.T. Mathews win in the high jump was nice to see with his jump of 6'-0. That is a good jump this early. Sophomore sprinter Nate Hensley looked sharp and will definitely do well this season. As with most teams this time of the season, we will have to polish the rough spots and make them shine."

Greencastle will next run at the Bulldog relays in Monrovia on Saturday.
