Jackie Modesett Defends 100 Hurdle Title in Blazing Time
Jackie Modesett won the Division I 100 Meter Hurdles for the second straight year in a blazing time of 13.92 seconds, ranking her #11 in the nation in the event! Unfortunatley, the wind was 2.1 mps, 0.1 over the allowable wind aid for records, so the old record of 14.33 still stands. The Boys 4x100 Relay team of Josh Otey, Justin Bernard, Nathan Avery, and Lee Hapton ran a season best 44.91 to finish 20th out of 35 teams. The Girls 4 x 800 Relay team of Elise Viguet, Margaret Trautner, Francie Williams, and Olivia Havel ran a season best time of 9:56.33.
Unfortunately, the Girls 4 x 400 Relay team met with bad luck in the finals. After a strong lead leg by Stephanie Guo and a solid second leg by Sam Night, Abby Avery had the baton knocked out of her hand after the exchange and had to run backwards 5 meters to retreive the baton and run a hard third leg. Jackie Modesett ran a strong anchor to pass one team and finish in 8th place with a season best 4:08.52.
