Let's begin with the high school team. We have two great vaulters on the team this year! Senior Kayla Garpstas & junior Dani Poletti! This indoor season both Kayla & Dani qualified for indoor States. Dani also qualified for the National Meet!! Dani competed in the Elite Emerging Girls competition in the Armory in New York City! Dani finished 4th!! Great job Dani!! See results below!
Eric Solomon set a new school record for Widener & finished 8th with a 60' 1/2" throw!!! Eric, as mentioned in an early blog entry, was an outstanding thrower for Hempfield in his high school career! But, now Eric is now throwing his favorite implement!! The weight throw! I'm sure in the spring Eric will break out the Hammer!! Check out the results below!
Great job Eric!
And Melissa Fellenbaum continued her great season with a 6th place finish jumping 12'7". Melissa was our high school girls record holder till last season! That is when Dani Poletti(see above!) broke her record while winning the Lancaster Lebanon Pole Vault competition! Melissa started out at Kutztown and had a great freshman year! She transferred to Penn State Berks to pursue a degree in occupational therapy. While at Penn State Berks Melissa could not jump because they did not have a track & field team! And decided that she still wanted top jump & had eligibility left! Now at Alvernia, Melissa is shattering all school records and representing her school with style!! ANd is she flying now!!! Check out her results:
What an incredible Friday for Hempfield Track & Field!!!
