Hurricane All-Comers and Athletes of the Week

Our first meet of the year took place on March 6.  Although we were missing a few athletes with the beginning of Spring Break, those who participated represented Panther Track and Field very well.  Some of our top performances came from our younger and newer athletes.  On the boys' side, Kawika, Lance, and Jacob all did well in their 100m.  We had a strong showing in the Long Jump from Colin, Kawika and Keaton.  And our distance crew did well, sweeping the 800 and 3200.  The ladies saw great field marks put up by Moani and Kaytlin in the disc, jav and shot.

Our Athletes of the Week for the Hurricane All-Comers are:

Colton Miller - Colton, a Senior Captain, earned Sprint honors with his 23.46 in the 200.  This strong early season mark earned him 1st place at the meet.  Colton has set a great example to all our athletes with his dedication and commitment in the off-season which has set him up for a tremendous 2015 campaign.

Cierra Costa - Cierra has been one of our top girls athletes for the past two seasons.  And she started her Junior season right were she left off.  She placed 10th in the 100 hurdles, 5th in the 300 hurdles, and 4th in the 200 to earn Sprint Athlete of the Week.

Dillan Robertson - Dillan put the region he is a force to be recon with in the throws with his great performance at Hurricane.  Just a Sophomore in his first season of track, Dillan placed 3rd in the javelin and shot put to earn Field honors.

Savannah Loris - In her first meet ever, this Freshman showed she has great potential for the coming years.  Savannah has been working extremely hard and is a wonderful example of how you can improve by coming to practice and working hard every day.  If her performance at Hurricane was any indication, watch for her in the future.

Logan Hall - Logan is a Freshman knocking on the sub-5:00 door right off the bat.  After a strong xc campaign, Logan is looking to be one of the Panthers top distance runners in the near future.  His 5:04 placed him 3rd in his heat at Hurricane.

Jacey Finch - Jacey, another Freshman who is building on an awesome xc season, is quickly developing into one of the top distance runners on a very strong and young Panther team.  Using a great kick, Jacey placed 4th in the 800 with a time of 2:34.

Congrats to all our Athletes of the Week!
