Eastern States Championships


The final competition of the 2010-2011 indoor season for the MOTF teams was the prestigious Eastern States Championships, held at the 168th St. Armory in NYC. Athletes must qualify according to entry guidelines and then be selected by the Games Committee. Three MO girls made the cut. Coach Joe Hehn took two of his sprint proteges in for races in the 55 and 200. Ketura Orji qualified for the semis in the 55 after a 7.48 trial. Amazingly, this time tied the school record held by Jackie Sendgikoski. She placed 20th overall in the semis, running a 7.56. She came back in the 200 later, joining teammate Armani Blair. Armani blazed the 1 lap in 27.46 to take 22nd overall. Keturah ran in a later heat and finished 19th with a 27.03.
In the field, Ashley Tomasula had her last vault competition and successfully cleared 11' again, good for 7th in the field. Ashley continued to equal her own school record set earlier in the season.
