FINAL CAMP WAS THE BEST EVER!

Monday night the members of the 17th Annual Track and Field Camp enjoyed their finest hour thus far in their short careers.

Competitors gave a hurdle demonstration for all to watch under the guidance of a new hurdler herself: Marina Wilkins also now known as Flip Flop.

Following the hurdles, several of the campers gave their all in the Long Jump. Coach Gorman officiated the event along with Brianna "Febreze" Murphy.

Each Jumper had their best performance on their final attempts...this is a very good omen for their future.

In the 100 meter trials six competitors fought their way to the finals which would be held after the shot put throw.

Elisabeth "Emeril" Cooke took over the shot put event along with Lindsey "Sox" Robinson. There were some really impressive throws for the group that had only practiced the event once prior to this Meet.

After some blazing times in the 100 meter finals, relay teams were established for the final event. Teams were selected based upon their seedings in the 100 as well as experience.

Though the lights never came on, it was lights out in terms of how fast each individual on each team ran. We had only practiced baton exchanges earlier in the sessions. All of the campers remembered how the zones worked, how to make the proper exchanges and performed as if they had been doing it all year.

The future looks good indeed for the Ladyspartans. We'll have pictures at a later time and date for everyone to view. Keep your eye out for the Reminder Publication in about two weeks and read all about it!
