The Peoples Academy track team competed in the Burlington Invitational Friday and Saturday, May 7th and 8th. With over 800 athletes representing mostly division I and II schools competing, PA placed 15th overall, and was the top division III school at the meet. PA athletes took the podium 4 times, others achieved personal best performances, and everyone gained valuable experience competing in a big meet.
Sophomore AS took 3rd in the girls long jump, tied for 4th in the high jump, and placed 6th in the 100m hurdles. The boys 4 X 100 team of KB, KM, DB, and RM took 5th place in a school record time of 48.01.
Personal best performances were turned in by KH in the girls pole vault, NJ in the boys javelin throw and triple jump, and AS in both the girls long and triple jumps. On the track NJ, DB, RM, and KM all set personal bests in the boys 100 dash, while RM did so in the boys 200 dash, and NP in both the girls 800 and 1500 meter runs.
It was a team effort that also produced seasonal best times in both the boys 4 X 400 relay (RM, NJ, DS, CC) and the boys 4 X 800 relay (CC, BW, CW, KB).
Thanks to Coach Paige for the update.
And Coach Paige broke his meet record in the Masters mile with a 4:52.54 effort.
