Girls Track at State

This friday and Saturday 6 girls from the eastview girls track team qualified for state. I got the privledge to go along with the girls and be with them even though i did not qualify. The meet was at Hamlin University. Prelims were on friday and finals were on saturday. The 6 girls that qualified were sophmore, Anne Ferguson in the 800m and the 1600m. In prelims she qualified for the 3rd seed in the 800. in finals however she did not perform her best and did not get top 8 at state. The 4 by 100m relay composed of freshman, Paris Sanders, Junior, Mallory Burnham, and sophmores, Amanda and Alex Beckman. They did a wonderful job and got 1st in state with an amazing time of 48.49!! Junior, Taryn Dwyer tried very hard in Prelims but unfortunaetly did not make it to finals. Both for prelims and for finals the stadium was really packed. It was an amazing day on friday but ended up being an awful, cold and rainy day on saturday for finals. All six girls tried very hard and ended the 2009 season very well! good job girls!
