We had an outstanding Day #1 at the HVAC finals!
Our Boys and Girls teams both scored 13 points already in field events finals:
-Holly Schreiber: 2nd place in PV - 8'0" (8 points)

-Jonathan Nichols: 3rd place in DT - 100'6" (6 points)
-Jordan Turner: 8th place in SP - 33'11.5" (1 point)
Remember, the scoring is top 8 places and our team score is the sum of the 15 events (5 field events, 5 open races, 4 relays, 1 hurdles race):
1st-10, 2nd-8, 3rd-6, 4th-5, 5th-4, 6th-3, 7th-2, 8th-1
We also had great performances in the qualifying prelims (including a lot of PR's indicated by an asterisk*):
HH: Lia 20.70*, Jaimie 21.47*
100: Chloe 13.09 (qualified 1st), Alima 13.30* (qualified 3rd), Holly 14.42

Notice that we had the top qualifier in 5 out of 8 races!!
That is incredible. And we had 7 other qualifiers, giving us 12 total. The top 3 finishers in each event earn a medal (we have 3 already from field events)...
Friday is going to be a great meet to participate in and watch, starting at 4:00pm! I appreciate all of the team members and families who came to watch and cheer today. Bring that same enthusiasm on Friday!
