Pickerinton Invitational!!

Results to the meet are up at: www.baumspage.com/trackms/pickerington/ridgeview/2012/2012 results.htm

Some results are incomplete as of now (i.e. all non-scoring field events). I know many of the results pages were damaged due to the poor weather conditions. I have some of the results personally but will try my best to get all results confirmed.

The highlights:
Girls Long Jump - Jada Sleet - 1st Place (15'-3.75")
Girls 4x800 Meter Relay - 2nd Place (11:90.49)
Girls Discus - Rina Laios - 2nd Place (74'-10")
Boys Long Jump - Matthew Chih - 4th Place (16'-0")
Girls 800m Run - Christina Nash - 4th Place (2:41.20)
Girls 4x400 Meter Relay - 4th Place (4:48.11)
Girls 100m Dash - Jada Sleet - 5th Place (13.65q, 14.10f)
Girls 400m Dash - Christina Nash - 5th Place (1:07.90)
Girls High Jump - Rina Laios - 5th Place (4'-2")
Girls 4x200 Meter Relay - 6th Place (2:02.02)
Boys 4x200 Meter Relay - 6th Place (1:54.37)
Girls 4x100 Meter Relay - 6th Place (56.50)
Boys 4x400 Meter Relay - 6th Place (4:28.11)

Overall the Boys team finished in 12th place (8 points).
Overall the Girls team finished in 4th place (47 points). This is a major accomplishment for our team as neither Kilbourne nor Worthingway had finished higher than 6th in this invitational in the past 5 years!!

Our dual meet on Wednesday is against Hilliard Heritage, it should be a good challenge as they finished 7th (22 points) in the boys and 7th (33.50) in the girls invitational at Pickerington. The meet line-up and directions to Hilliard Heritage will follow in a later blog post.

If you are available to help volunteer we need a full crew of parents to help out at the meet at Hilliard Heritage on Wednesday.

Lastly, please keep calendars marked for Saturday, May 5th as it is the Worthington Invitational - all athletes are expected to attend to either compete or help run events, act as hurdle crew, and assist meet staff and officials. We will also need parents to help out with field events. No timers or scorers are needed as the event is electronically timed - one of the only middle school meets of its kind!!

That's all for now, have a great rest of the weekend.
