Valley Chrisitan JV Girls & Frosh-Soph Boys WCAL Results

Kellianne Connolly at the start of the 3200 meters.
A small contingent of Valley Christian athletes competed in the JV Girls and Frosh-Soph Boys WCAL Championship Saturday. 

For the Girls, Rachel Goranson led the way scoring in both the 100 and 300 hurdles.  Placing second in the 100 meter hurdles with a time of 17.63, her best time this season, she came back to finish 4th in the 300 hurdles with a time of 55.69. 

The gusty winds down the back stretch made it tough to get a personal best in the distance races but that didn't stop the Warriors from competing well.  Jessica Xu led the distance runners with an 8th place finish in the 1600 running 5:52 and a finished 4th place in the 800 meters where she was just off of her season best with a time of 2:36.  The heavy wind didn't stop Kellianne Connolly from getting a 10 second personal best and breaking through the 6 min barrier running 5:57.28!  She came back later in the day in the 3200 meters and ran strong to finish with a season best time of 13:21.  Karen Mac and Megan Gillespie also competed well in the 1600 and 800 meters where they both finished the 1600 in 6:15.

Representing the throws was Kristin Uda who finished 5th in the discus with a throw of 77-0 and 9th in the shot put with a toss of 23-2.5.

For the Boys Eyobed Mesfun was the top finisher for the Warriors in the 1600 with a time of 5:09 followed by Alex Ascencio in 5:15.  Two personal bests came from the 800 meters as Alex George finished 2nd in his heat of the 800 running 2:17, while Damian Hochmuth hit 2:19.
