Neither rain, snow nor cold temperatures would have prevented the Foxes girls’ outdoor track & field team from dominating a field of five area schools. Heidi Colwell was a one womanwrecking crew, as she placed first in the pole vault (9’), first in the 100meter hurdles, and had one of the best opening times in the 300-meters (49.9). After totaling 156, and winning all but one running event, it is relatively safe to say that the Lady Foxes have the potential to extend their consecutive division/conference wins to five at the end of the season. The Foxes girls also convincingly swept all three relay events. New on the Foxes track & field horizon are Shamaya Abdullah and Trenay Clark. Abdullah posted a first place finish in the 200-meter dash with a time of 27.20. Teammates DeAsia Callahan (27.65) and Trenay Clark (28.48) followed with second and third place finishes, respectively.
Clark also placed third in the 100meter dash with a time of 13.57. James Monroe’s Sharnea Brown was the girls’ top point producer with victories in the 100-meter dash, long jump, and triple jump. As for the boys, the meet’s top athlete was Caroline standout, Aason Pankey. Pankey posted 50 individual points in the 100-meter dash (11:31), 300-meter hurdles (41.70), high jump (5’10”), long jump (20’ 11.75”), and triple jump (41’6”). However, in spite of Pankey’s performance, the Foxes nearly squeaked out a win, losing by six points (127121). Interestingly, in light of the fact that Caroline and King George were the only area teams that competed in winter track, they also finished at the top of the team leader board.
