Girls Results

She was able to overcome it and run a season best time of 69.86 seconds. Jane also placed third in the triple jump with a personal best performance of 33-1.
  • Hannah McMasters won the shot put with a throw of 32’ 5.25.” Her nearest competitor was nearly four feet behind her.

The Olympians’ lone run of the game came in the top of the sixth inning. Audrey Jasper led off with a single. Jasper proceeded to steal second and third base, then stole home to score.
