Bentley Johnson, Colette Maduagwu, Stephanie Rennie, and Aaliyah Phillips-Robinson - 4x100m Relay School Record

Having set a new school record at the John Cooper Dragon Invite weeks prior, the girls' 4x100m relay team aimed to repeat their success. They broke their own record again in a strong race, battling closely with St. Agnes Academy for first place. Ultimately, the Lions finished second but will look to achieve even faster times at the regional meet.

 

 

In the 4x400m relay, SJ23 also secured a regional qualification. The district relay team consisted of Calleigh Richardson, Alli Garrity, Quinn Huff, and Colette Maduagwu. SJ23 demonstrated a strong overall performance at the meet.

Although only the top four individuals in each event advance to the regional meet, several athletes placed within the top eight, contributing valuable points to the team's total score.
