After an impressive showing at Regionals, 5 members of the Charger track team will advance to State competition. Senior Olivia R will compete in the 800M, the 1600M, and on the 4x800M relay team. Olivia is joined by teammates Elia J, Reagan Q, and Isabelle S for the relay. The quartet shaved :15 off of their 4x800M time, qualifying them to compete at the State level. Sophomore Renice D will compete in the long jump after clearing 16’ 9.25” (5.11M) at Regionals.
Olivia also set a new Shorecrest school record for the girls 1600M with a time of 5:05.85, breaking the previous record of 5:10.00 set by one of her mentors in 2014, Alex Eaton '14.
The Florida High School Track & Field State Championships will be held Friday, May 5 & Saturday, May 6 at IMG Academy in Bradenton. Follow Charger Athletics on Twitter at @ChargersBeMore for real-time updates of results at States.
