The Girls Winter Track and Field Team competed at the PA State Championships held at Penn State University on Sunday afternoon. The meet features the best athletes from all 1500 public and private schools throughout the state, including many that will advance to the National Championship level.

Senior Summer Mellow, an athlete that has qualified for the National Championships in 2 weeks in 4 events, finished in 10th place in the 200m dash with a personal best and the #3 all-time performance in Methacton history with a time of 25.30 seconds. The two athletes ahead of Mellow on the Methacton list, Caroline Duffy and Ryann Krais, were also Division 1 scholarship athletes in track and field. Mellow anchored the 4x200 relay, which included Nicole Walsh, Jillian McTamney and Kenslee O'Donnell, to their best performance of the season in a time of 1:45.90 and a 15th place finish. That performance was #4 on the All-Time Methacton list. Mellow also competed in the Long Jump and placed 19th in PA. Kenslee O'Donnell was off to a great start in the 60m hurdles and unfortunately clipped one that threw her off. Despite the mishap, O'Donnell was strong enough to finish the race in an outstanding time of 9.82 seconds and a 23rd place finish. O'Donnell holds the 6th fastest time in Methacton history in the event. The 4x800 Relay of Marlie Klein, Julianna Trigone, Molly Thomas and Kate Thomas ran their 2nd fast time of the season, 9:54.80, to a 17th place finish in the meet. The quartet holds the 4th fastest time in the sport at Methacton.

The 4x200 Relay, 4x800 Relay, Summer Mellow and Marlie Klein have all qualified for the National Championship Meet to be held in 2 weeks. The Lady Warriors had an outstanding season, which included school record performances in the 55m dash, 60m dash, 3000m run and 3200m run, as well as numerous All-time Top Ten performances. Their focus now turns towards the spring season.
