Track Team Competes at Nationals

By Leo Corman ’15

On March 14 and 15, several members of the track team competed at the New Balance Indoor Nationals in New York.  The girls’ 4 by 400 meter relay team of junior Tiffany Woods, junior Lauren Woods, junior Molly Hierholzer and sophomore Maddie Peloff finished with a time of 4:12.66 minutes.  Peloff, who filled in for injured senior Grace McDonald, was running the event for the first time.  Tiffany Woods also competed in the open 400 meter dash, finishing twenty-second out of fifty-seven athletes with a time of 58.99 seconds.

“Nationals was a lot of fun, and we had really good competition in New York,” said Hierholzer.  “It pushed us to run great times, even some PR’s [personal records].  I can’t wait to go back next year!”

The outdoor season officially begins on March 26 with a divisional meet against Paint Branch and Good Counsel, where the team will look to build on their excellent indoor season.
