State Championships Wrap Up

The boys and girls competed on Friday/Saturday, May 27 & 28, in the Group 3 State Meet at South Plainfield. The girls came away with two medalists in the meet: senior Jacinta Ford, who placed 6th in the triple jump at 35' and soph Ashley Tomasula (pictured below), also 6th in the pole vault at 10"6". Ford also placed 10th in the long jump (15'11.75"). Other highlights included soph Armani Blair, 12th--200(26.22) and 14th--100(13.03); Allissa Hoffman, 14th--jav (107'9"); and Casey Garcia, 14th--3200 (11:51.62).
For the boys, junior Paul Kramaritsch place 8th in the pole vault in a p.r. 12'6"; senior Chris Schneider, 10th in the 3200 in 9:47.88; and junior Dan Maya, 13th--100 (11.34). The 4 x 400 did not finish as leadoff man Dan Maya suffered a severe foot cramp and had to stop 100m into the race.
The relay team's misfortune was assuaged the next Thursday at the Meet of Champs in which the 4 x 100 had qualified. The team of John Johnson, Dan Maya, Jamal Davis, and Aeron Gilson (in his last race in a MO uniform) completed the circuit in 43.19 to take 8th place medals and break their own school record yet again this season. Tomasula finished 20th in the vault at 10' in her first trip to the MOC and Ford placed 25th in the t.j. at 34'6.75".
