Updated on 05/06/2024
Women’s Team Score: SIXTH PLACE!
Men’s Team Score: FOURTH PLACE!
The Falcons left their mark at Divine Child High School on Saturday with five meet champions, a new meet record in the shot put, an MVP award, and MANY personal bests (PR). At the end of the long day, the men's team finished 2 points out of a top-3 finish and the women finished 6th overall. Omari Hairston was named the meet’s “Field Event MVP” for setting a new meet record in the shot put of 52’5”. Ray Glory-Ejoyakah electrified (and at times terrified) the crowd and was the meet champion in discus with a throw of 146’6” (although his fouled throw of at least 170’ took out a lawn chair and sent spectators fleeing). Molly Heller was the meet champion in the high jump, setting a new PR of 5’2” as she closes in the school record 5’4”. Noah Sanders set a PR of 10.94 as he was the meet champion in the 100m dash.
