The Snoqualmie Middle School seventh-grade girls’ track team remained undefeated by posting a score of 49-46 over the Mercer Island, and improved its league record to 4-0.
Paving the way to the win were the first-place finishes from the seventh-grade team of Jordan Tipton in the 100-meter and long jump, Jessica Marley in the 200-meter, Collette Hatch’s 400-meter win and a win by Erin Dunklee in the 800-meter, who also had two first-place finishes in the 400- and 800- meter relays.
The 400-meter relay team was comprised of Robin Pearson, Hatch, Brianna Campbell and Tara Eddings. The 800-relay team consisted of Tipton, Tara Eddings, Hatch and Marley. The second-place finishers were Chelsea Eddings in the 75-meter hurdles, Marley in the 100-meter, Tipton in the 200-meter and Allyson Rosman in the discus. Chelsea Eddings took third in the high jump.
In the eighth-grade meet, the girls were outnumbered by the depth of the Islanders. Meghan Manson placed first in the discus, and the 800-meter relay team consisting of Vanessa Scalzo, Maggie Kujath, Leah Coffey and Meaghan Dunklee also took first.
Scalzo ran the 800-meter and took second, among the ten best times in school history. Dunklee was second in the 75-meter hurdles and the 100-meters and Manson was second in the shot put. Kelsey Myers took third place in the 400-meters, Shannon Kelley was third in the mile and Rebecca Coffey placed third in the 200-meter.
In the final sixth-grade meet of the season the SMS girls lost to a more powerful Islander team. Amanda Magnuson placed second in the mile with a personal best and a new, top-ten school record, and was second in the high jump tying teammate Anika Granillo. Carrie Patterson threw the shot and took second place, and Paige Alexander was second in the 800-meter. Granillo was third in the 75-meter hurdles, Kayla Grant took third in the 200-meter and 400-meter races, and Julie Patterson was third in the shot and discus.
