This past weekend marked the end of the outdoor track season. Lansing closed their season by sending Seniors Natalie Usack, Tiffany Lind, and Colleen Trowbridge, along with juniors Ryann Cretney, Christine Fucks, and freshman Katy Bland to the New York State Public High School Outdoor Track and Field Championships, held at Dietz Stadium, in Kingston, New York. Cretney competed in the 2000m steeplechase, and despite a difficult seeding and a hard fall over a barrier, she managed to rally back to post a time of 7:15.77, which was good enough to earn her second place in division II, and ninth overall.
The 4x800mR team of Usack, Lind, Bland,and Trowbridge, displayed their unequaled heart and determination once again as they each put forth their best efforts. Trowbridge stepped up and ran a three second personal record for the team after Cretney fell ill and was unable to compete. The end of the race was particularly hard on the three seniors as it marked the end of their high school athletic carriers. I join the Lansing Community in wishing Natalie, Tiffany, Colleen, and their classmates’ congratulations, and the best of luck. Thanks for such a great season ladies! ----
