Colonial Relays: Records, records, more records!







The school records kept coming at Colonial Relays. In the “relays” part of the Colonial, they came every race! It was so exciting. One of the records that was broken was one week old. Another was 34 years old. And everything in between. So exciting, so thrilling, so happy for our women and for the amazing coaches (Alisha Samuel and Billy Poole-Harris) who guide them.
 
200 dash: Gabby Bozeth 24.42, broke her two-week old record.
400 dash: Julia Kropo 57.45, broke Danisha Craig’s record from nine years ago.
800 run: Julianna Mirabile 2:10.08, broke one of the longest standing marks on the books, Susan Golden’s 2:11.57 from 26 years ago! Juju crushed it and won the race.
Shot put: Jenna Borselle popped off out in the throws field, breaking Lori Keyes’ mark from 1992 – our first year coaching and the first year of the women’s program!
 
And then the relays. My gosh, the relays.
--The 4x100, bettering last week’s mark
--The sprint medley, breaking a mark from 2002 (24 years ago)
--The distance medley, breaking a 2019 mark
--And of course the 4x400 relay, breaking a 1-year-old mark.
 
Fantastic. Fabulous. Neat!
