In addition, the Perry 4x100m team talked about qualifying for regionals.

“I am a senior, so I was really fortunate to be able to qualify for Regionals before the season ended,” said Carli McGonnell.

 

Added Alyssa Liddy, “I am very fortunate to have such a great team to qualify us for regionals.”

Also, Beachwood’s Kylie Walters won the long jump and Madison Torbert won the shot put and discus.

“I threw a 36’2″ (in the shot put) that was able to get me first place,” said Torbert. “Honestly, with that throw, I’m kind of happy with it because I feel like I am getting back on track with me improving and hopefully being able to fill the shoes that my seniors were able to fill for me when they were here.”
