Runners Hit Stride At Penn Relays
Qualifying and participating in the annual Penn Relays at the University of
Pennsylvania’s Franklin Field is a huge accomplishment. This year, McDonogh
sent two teams of students to Philadelphia for the meet which began on
Thursday, April 23. McDonogh Coach Jeff Sanborn filed this report:
On Thursday, the girls 4 X 800 team of Maggie S. '15, Jordan B. '16, Noemie
N. '15, and Allison G. '15 ran in one of four heats attempting to make the top 12
and the Championship of America held on Friday. They ran a very good race and
placed eighth of the 64 teams that had qualified. McDonogh was the only
Maryland school to qualify for the final. On Friday, in challenging conditions for
all runners, the girls ran within seconds of Thursday's time and finished in about
the same place, ninth of the 12 teams, although very close to fourth.
On Friday evening the boys ran the Distance Medley Relay, which they had
qualified for at the Indoor Nationals. They were one of only 12 teams to make
the Championship of America race.
“The crowd was in a complete frenzy as the top five teams were separated
by 1.5 seconds,” Sanborn said.
