Congratulations on the MMS Track and Field Team for an incredible meet Thursday at York. Some highlights include Grace P running the 400 meter for the second week in a row, arguable the hardest event in track. Libby O crushing the 400 in a blistering 75 seconds. The entire distance crew destroying their mile times from last week including Alice W, Emily K, Maya S Nate K, Jackson W and Evan N. Griffin S chucking the discus more that 83 feet and then being convinced to run the relay so his buddies could complete!
Jarahmiah L missing the high jump and then entering an event he had never tried before-the shot put. Ellie Z improving her shot put throw by more than 7 feet. David D for jumping nearly 15 feet in the long jump. Zeph L and Tommie M for joining track within the last week and absolutely slaying in all of their events.
Every single athlete should be unbelievable proud of their performances yesterday. Last, but not least, a very special shout out to 8th grader Henri R, who not only broke the school record in the mile, but did it running under 5 minutes with a time of 4:59-- an obscenely fast time and record that will surely stand for a long, long time or at least until he breaks it again! Congratulations to everyone!
