The Avonworth/Northgate track & field team stormed into the Slippery Rock University Invitational on Friday and came away with some serious hardware, tons of personal records, and a big handful of top-10 all-time program performances.

Julia Doherty absolutely dominated the sprints, going a perfect 4-for-4 with medals in every event she competed in: 4th in the 100m, 4th in the 200m, 3rd in the 4x100m relay with Catheryn Behr, Harper Robinson, & Grace Kuretich, and 2nd in the 4x400m relay with Hope Stiteler, Catheryn Behr, & Jocelyn Grande. Julia’s PR time of 12.71 in the 100m puts her 5th all-time in program history, and PR time of 26.64 in the 200m now puts her 6th all-time in program history! Harper also ran a huge PR in the 200m to grab an 8th place medal. Her time of 27.06 puts her into 8th all-time in program history! Hope also scored an individual medal, placing 4th in the 800m with a PR time of 2:21.57, which puts her 5th all time in program history and ranks her 9th in the WPIAL 3A this season. The girls 4×1 season-best time of 50.37 moves them into 5th all-time in program history and currently ranks 8th this season in the WPIAL 3A. The girls 4×4 time of 4:12.05, also a season-best, currently ranks 9th in the WPIAL 3A. The girls scored enough points to place 9th out of 66 schools.

At the Pine Richland Invitational on Friday, the rain and the cold could not stop our sprinters from heating up the track.

Savian Baptiste continued his assault on the rest of the WPIAL, running to a new PR of 10.88 in the 100m to take 2nd place silver! He then bested everybody in the 200m, running away from a field of elite sprinters to win gold with another PR of 22.11!

Julia Doherty had prom to get ready for that night, but wanted some more shiny jewelry to wear. So she blasted to a 7th place medal in the 100m with a time of 12.80!

More sprint hardware came care of the girls 4x100m relay. Addy Gill, Catheryn Behr, Harper Robinson and Grace Kuretich grabbed 7th place medals with a time of 51.74!

Hope, Catheryn, Harper and Jocelyn Grande finished off the night in a driving rain to claim 7th place medals in the 4x400m relay with a time of 4:16.35!
