The Chelsea Girls Track and Field Team ran well against SEC rival Ypsilanti, defeating the visiting Grizzlies 105-30.
“We were able to score many points on our overall team depth, and I credit the girls for being out there in 40-degree weather and in excellent spirits,” said Coach Shane Rodriguez.
Despite the cold weather, there were still a number of personal bests and lifetime bests.
“All of the field events showed a lot of promise, and that is an area that must keep improving throughout the season,” the coach said.
Some individual highlights were:
- Rachael Yordanich running excellent times in the 100 and 200, winning the events
- Hannah Almheimid ran well in the 100 hurdles, winning in dominant fashion
- the 4×800 and 4×400 teams took advantage to win their relays
- Sydney Matusik PR’d in the 400, and won the event
- Kaehla Manly won the 300 hurdles
- Emily Schwarz had a huge PR in the 3200 and won the event
