Congratulations to Angie Odeniyi, Abby Kowalczyk and Connor Hitt for qualifying for the State Indoor Track & Field Championships on March 2nd. Angie Odeniyi placed second with a new personal best and school record in the weight throw. Abby finished second in the 3,000 meter run with a season’s best time.  In the 1,600 meter run, Connor finished second as well with a seasonal best. Just missing out on an opportunity to compete in the State Meet was Sabrina Schmitt who finished 5th over all in the 300 meter dash. Sabrina broke her school record, not just once, but twice! RCK athletes keep performing their best at the end of the season when it counts the most!

Congratulations to the girls team for finishing in 3rd at the Class AA meet at the Armory. Abby Kowalczyk led the way by winning the girls 3,000-meter run. She then followed that up by anchoring the 4x800 meter relay team (Elizabeth Delrosso, Aubrey Lawler, Morgan Lacasse) to a second-place finish. Another week and another set of outstanding performances by Sabrina Schmitt who took fourth in the 55-meter dash with a personal best, and then came back to finish second in the 300-meter dash with a new school record! Angie Odeniyi placed second in the shot put as well as fourth in the weight throw. 
Connor Hitt continued his winning ways by taking the 1,000-meter and 1,600-meter runs. In the latter race, he stunned the competition with a come-from-behind win over the final 40 meters. Austin Deler took third in the long jump with a personal best mark. One other notable performance was Isaac Menjivar’s fourth-place finish in the 3,200-meter run with a huge improvement from his previous best. 
Overall, over one-half of the performances were personal and/or season bests! Great job everyone!

OCEAN BREEZE INVITATIONAL - FEBRUARY 2024

Congratulations to Cameron Clyde for finishing third in the freshman division of the 55m high hurdles and breaking the freshman/sophomore record. He nearly broke the school record

in the 400 meter dash as well. Connor Hitt set a personal best in the Invitational 2-mile run and also just missed breaking the school record. Mike Velders had a spirited effort in the one-mile run where he broke the 5:00 barrier for the first time. The night finished off with the sophomore quartet of Matt Kowalczyk, George Soyka, Adam Gazal and Isaac Menjivar breaking the freshman/sophomore record in the 4x800m relay. Good job boys! 

CONGRATULATIONS RCK CHEER!
