Girl Track Athletes Place First at Diocesan Meet

Congratulations to the St. Mary’s Track Team (grades 4-8) who competed with 18 schools in the annual Diocesan Track Meet at St. Francis HS on May 15. The weather was super, everyone “ran like the wind” and had a great time.

Our girl’s team won FIRST PLACE in our division! We also won individual ribbons for:
1st Place Relay: Jenna Skinner, Amanda Stockman, Allison Cooper, Abby Aquino
1st Place Dash: Allison Cooper 2nd Place Dash: Phillip Hoffman 3rd Place Dash: Skylar Kowalczyk
1st Place softball Throw: Amanda Stockman
1st Place softball Throw: Shannon Stockman

We are grateful to Mrs. Pearl, Mrs. Durkin, Mr. Burger and all their parent helpers for making this exciting day possible for our runners. 

Everyone is invited to be part of our track team. It's a great way for both students and parents to enjoy the great weather and build our family spirit.

Our next meet is Sunday May 20 at 9 a.m. at St. Greg's (St. Mary's vs. St. Greg's).
