The Girls are tied for first place with Hockaday after Day 1 of the SPC Championships.  Tope Emiola and Briana Williams threw season bests to finish 3 and 4 in the Discus Throw.  Tope moved from 8th place to 3rd place on her last throw!  Meryl Gibbs jumped a big PR of 34'0" in the Triple Jump to finish 5th place.  Carson Peacock and Molly Vitek ran great races on the windy track to place 5th and 8th in the 3200 meters to start off the day.  The first day was capped by the 4x800 Relay team of Kristen Santiago, Elise Vigeut, Daphne Desjardins, and Nicole Gras running a gutsy comeback race to beat Kindaid and finish first.
