It was a fun night at the Olympia Co-ed Relays! There were 12 teams competing in this not so traditional meet. We had several girls trying out new events to complete the co-ed relay part and they all had so much fun trying new things. The highlight of the evening was our shuttle hurdle relay team (Melissa Bieber, Charlee Durham, Cooper Phillips and Keagan Uphoff) taking first by almost 6 seconds. The co-ed shot put team (Hannah Cleveland, Kyra West, Nolen Yeary and Cohen Manes) got first place adding to our team points. There were so many good things from last night: 4x8- (Amanda Gonzalez, Amelia Kistner, Kaylie Dare and Emma Swartzendruber) finished 1st place with our best time of the season 10:31.2 4x4- (Melissa Bieber, Grace Whiteside, Emma Swartzendruber, Charlee Durham) finished 2nd with our seasons fastest time of 4:15.4 Long jump- Charlee durham jumped a PR of 4.66m for a girls 1st place Thank you to Palmer and Melissa for stepping up and competing in high jump and to Emma and Kaylie for getting out of their comfort zone in triple jump. A big congrats to the seniors, Hannah Cleveland, Kyra West, Jorgi Dupureur, Abi Escalante and Melissa Bieber who were also recognized last night.
