The top athletes on the Lady Spartans Track & Field team tested their talents against the other top track stars in the notoriously tough region 12 at the Finals in Zeeland on Friday. 

Bella Vallone jump-started the action, finishing 3rd in the region in Long Jump, with a PR of 16’04.75”! She not only earned a Regional medal, but also automatically qualified for the State Finals! Jocelyn Garza finished 8th in the Region with a season PR jump of 14’11.5”!

Our Pole Vault stars also brought home Regional Medals: Bella Elliott finished 6th and Bailey Elzinga finished tied for 7th in the Region.

Our Relay teams had a great showing. The 4x200 team of Trinity Skowronek, Bella Elliott, Hayley Pangborn and Jocelyn Garza raced to a 5th Place Medal. The 4x100 team of Skowronek, Garza, Elliott and Layla Vallone also grabbed a 5th place regional medal and smashed the season record by 2 seconds. The 4x400 team of Skowronek, Emma Janesak, Kennedi Wood and Shaundria Webber finished 5th as well, setting a season record.

In the 1600M run, Emma Janesak ran a big PR placing an impressive 3rd overall in the Region on her third time running the event! Emma also finished 4th overall in the 800M with another PR.
