The MS girls’ track & field team extended their dynasty last week, capturing its eighth consecutive conference championship in spectacular fashion at home. The Chargers dominated, outscoring the second-place team by a staggering 115 points, and earning more points than the second, third, and fourth place teams combined. Eighteen athletes contributed to the historic total.

Record Setters:

Waverly Williams, ‘29, blazed her way to a championship and school record in the 200m, shattered the school record in the 100m for silver, and helped secure two relay golds—teaming with Nari Richeson, ‘30, Avni Lutz, ‘29, and Avery Strouch, ‘29, for a championship and school record in the 4x100m, and again with Neleiza Lefevre, ‘29, Avni Lutz, and Maripaz Pulido, ‘30, to win the 4x200m.

Maripaz Pulido broke her own school record to win the discus in a new championship record and claimed another gold in the 100m hurdles.

Avni Lutz took conference gold in the long jump.

Molly Na, ‘30, smashed her own school record to win the 600m.

Maya Murthy, ‘29, set a personal best to claim gold in the 800m.

On the boys’ side, the Chargers wrapped a strong season with a 5th place conference finish and multiple school records. At the championship, Roman Steele-Combs, ‘29, set a new school record in the 200m to earn bronze.

A dominant finish to a record-setting season. Go Chargers!
