FINALLY !!! The Roadrunners Track and Field teams had an amazing weekend of weather for the Paul Donahue Invitational hosted by Widener University. The meet was named in memory of a local Clearview graduate and runner who tragically lost his life in 2022, and it was an honor for RCSJ to be able to participate. As Coach Hughes has been saying for the past three weeks, once the weather cooperated, the amazing performances would follow.
On the women's side, the team managed to have 14 seasonal best performances in events as well as 12 NJCAA Nationals qualifying performances from the following:
Courtney O'Hara in the 1500m and 800m
Alexandra Campo in the 1500m
Kara Knorr in the shot put, discus, hammer, javelin
Susana Serrano in the 400m IH
Emily Murrow in the 400m
Sophia Dunning in the discus
4x100m team of Serrano, Murrow, Maccarone, Harverson
4x400m team of Serrano, Murrow, Cochran, O'Hara
On the men's side, the team came home with 9 seasonal best performances as well as NJCAA Nationals qualifying performances from the following:
Gavin Casella in the 10k
Ben Kellum in the 10k
Evan Hope in the hammer
Angel Garnett-Willis in the javelin
The teams will split their forces to attend two meets next week to get some final qualifiers at both the TCNJ Invitational and the Elizabethtown Tune-up.
