The girls finished 2nd as a team as we got our first female County Champions as Ashley Higginson won the 2 mile and one mile and Jessie Pagliano won the high jump. Danielle Plenzo added a 3rd in the 2 mile and a 5th in the 1 mile to make up the team's 38 points.
* The meet was run in yards not meters for the races 440 and over. Subtract about .4 for each 400 to get your meter time. A little extra as the race goes up and you are running a slightly longer race. | |||||
