5-1-13 MACSA SHS

A beautiful sunny day at Messiah College today and exceptional results from both the boys and girls teams.  Our boys were in a four way battle all day with Timothy Christian, Faith Christian Academy and Meadowbrook Christian, before pulling away late in the meet for a 22 point victory over second place Timothy.

Many story lines here, but everyone came up big and scored points where they were able.  Besides exceptional days from Josiah Hanko (winning 400, 800, 1600 and 3200) and Jonathan Campbell (wins in shot put and discus; second in javelin), we still scored 59 points from others for the victory.  Dan Larrazabal had a huge day, second in 3200, third in 1600 and fourth in 300 IH !!!  Ben Smith was third in 800 and fourth in triple jump; Daletyn Harris was fourth in 100; 7th in 200 and fifth in long jump; Oliver Budd was sixth in 100 and 8th in 200.  Greg Tanis, in his first meet at MACSA was 14th in Shot Put.  Andrew Justnes was 15th in Discus.  Seven Runners in our four relays accounted for 22 points (Seniors Andrew Justnes, Dan Larrazabal, and Ben Smith; sophomores Oliver Budd and Chris Rumeau; and freshmen Ethan Hastings and Iain Morrision).  A true team victory.  CONGRATULATIONS.  

Our girls scored 52 points for third place.  This was our third year in a row of coming in third, with points going from 29 in 2011, to 47 in 2012, to 52 points this year.  Again, excellent performances all around for our seven girls. Samantha Yamasaki was 3rd in 1600, 4th in 800 and 5th in 3200.  Ali Champagne wasa 3rd in 3200 and 4th in 1600. Katherine Buckley was 3rd in Discus and 7th in Shot Put.  Angela Martone was 3rd in 400, 7th in 100 and 10th in 200.  Rachel Buckley was 7th in a PR in the 800 and Tabitha Harris was 8th in 100 and 11th in 200.  Anita Witten was 11th in Shot Put.  Our relay teams were 2nd (4x400); 3rd (4x200) and 4th (4x100).  Rachel Buckley contributed to all three relays, Ali, Katherine and Tabitha were in two and Angela, Anita and Samantha in one.  

Congratulations one and all.  You made your coaches very proud of each one of you!
