Track Notes

-Although there were some Herculean performances this week-end, the Most Improved Performer was freshman Daryl Alston.  His tenacity throughout the grueling heats and finals of the 100 meters paid off.  Daryl claimed the number 5 spot in the finals of the city championships-not an easy task.  Mr. Alston also kicked in a 200 m PR to boot.

 The efforts of City Champion Tom Gilbride are not to be overlooked.  Having started just 3 months ago, winning the city championships is a feat defying the longest of odds.      

 To round out a successful afternoon, perennial stars Mike Fink, Brian Etheridge and Jim Altomare hit some impressive PR’s in their events.
