Catherine Cafaro anchors the first place 4x100 The Girls Varsity Track team dominated the Division Championship meet held at Hewlett HS last week scoring 190 points to runners up Hewlett (156) and Roslyn (65). Leading the way for the Trojans were multiple event winners/scorers Michelle Rotondo, Emily Menges, Taryn Schmelzinger, Catherine Cafaro, Jenna DeAngelo and Liz Slattery, as well as a sweep in the three relays. But in order to win a meet as handily as the GC girls did it takes the entire team to put up some outstanding performances - and they did.

Michelle finished first in the three events she competed in - winning the 400 intermediate hurdles (1:05.3), the 100 high hurdles (15.9) and the high jump (5'2"). Emily took top honors in the 400 meter race with a personal best and new school record of 55.9, and the 800m (2:20.4), and finished 4th in long jump. The relay teams were outstanding and never really challenged for top honors. The 4x100 team, the 4x400 team, and the 4x800 teams ran dominating races and were never challenged.

Other key scorers for the Trojans were Liz Slattery took 2nd place in the 3000 and 3rd in the 1500, Taryn Schmelzinger placed 2nd in the 400 IH, 4th in the 400m and 5th in the 200m, Jenna DeAngelo finished 2nd in the 1500 and 3rd in the 800m, Catherine Cafaro finished 3rd in both the 200m and 400m, Mary Odell took 3rd place in the 400IH and 5th place in the 100HH, Dana Famiglietti finished 3rd in the long jump and 5th in the triple jump, Daniella Sampram took 3rd place in the discus and a 4th place finish in the shot put, Alexis Yebohah-Kodie finished 5th in both the 100m sprint and the long jump, Katie Reilly took 4th in the 3000m, Abby Hepworth finished 4th in the triple, Victoria Chimento finished 4th in the 800m, Katherine Odell finished 4th in the discus and Lauren Creighton finished 4th in the 1500m.

Liz Slattery finishing 2nd in the 3000m. The girls competed in the County Championships on Tuesday and Wednesday evening this week - too late for this edition, so hopefully you will already know of the continued good fortune of the girls.
