"Delaney had a huge night for us setting two regional records and being a part our 4x100 really team that set a state record. Even our athletes who didn't qualify for the state meet, had personal best efforts to score points for us. Claire Longshore broke her own school record in the 100 Meter Hurdles twice this week and Sophia Hardwick ended her high school career with a personal best time in the 300 Meter Hurdles. It's so much fun to watch these young women empower each other."
