The Girls Track and Field Team continued their amazing season with several outstanding performances at the Meet of Champions on Friday night at Lehigh University. The annual championship meet featured the best athletes from more than 90 schools throughout the Delaware Valley.

Highlighting the meet was senior Summer Mellow. Summer medaled in all 3 events, setting the school record in the 60m Dash. Her time of 7.76 seconds placed her 3^rd in the meet and is the 9^th fastest time in PA this season. Mellow then took to the Long Jump, where she placed second with a leap of 17' 9". In her 3^rd event of the meet, she anchored the 4x200 relay to a 6^th place finish. Nicole Walsh, Jillian McTamney and Kenslee O'Donnell handled the first three legs of the event. Kenslee O'Donnell took home her second medal of the night with a blistering time of 9.52 seconds in the 60m hurdles, placing 6^th and qualifying her for the State Championship Meet. 

The Distance Medley relay of Kate Thomas, Jillian McTamney, Marlie Klein and Molly Thomas also took home medals. Improving by more than 20 seconds from their best time of the season, the quartet finished 5^th in the event with a time of 13:01.40. Two athletes that tied or set personal PR's on the evening were Soleil Bond-Johnson, with a long jump leap of 16' 8.25" to place her 8^th in the event, and Sydney Young, with a Pole Vault of 9' 0", placing her 14th.

The Lady Warriors will be well represented at the PA State Championships held at Penn State University on Sunday.
