(Chelsea Update would like to thank Coach Shane Rodriguez for the information in this story.)
The Chelsea Girls Track and Field Team traveled to Hillsdale on Thursday, March 26 to compete in the Charger Preview.
Coach Shane Rodriguez said many athletes did not compete due to a band and orchestra field trip to New York, but the contingent that did compete performed admirably.
Rachael Yordanich, Laura McGrath, Sydney Matusik, and Artemis Eyster turned in an impressive performance by winning the sprint medley relay. Also taking home the gold were Matusik, Yordanich, Victoria Collins, and Kaehla Manly in the 4x400m relay.
“These girls, as well as all the athletes, have been working hard and are focused and determined to be successful this season,” Rodrigues said, adding, “The coaches are extremely impressed with these great early results.”
Other bright spots were:
- Laura McGrath placing 5th in the 200
- Hannah Almheimid placing 6th in the 60m hurdles
- Maria Osentoski 8th in the high jump
- Artemis Eyster was runner-up in the 3200m run.
“These performances are outstanding considering there were 20 teams in attendance with each team allowed to enter up to three individuals in each event,” the coach said.

The team hosts Ypsilanti on Tuesday, March 31.
