“She actually ran the full mile (which is approximately 30 feet longer than the 1600) in 5:05.9 and got 7th overall with over 50 teams represented from multiple states. That equates to 1600 of 5:04.0. She broke Bridgette Krystynak’s record last year from 1989 when she ran 5:10.73,” coach McClintic stated.
Annie Whited placed 8th in the 200 and 5th in the 400.
Avery Thompson placed 8th in 300h.

4×400 of Avery Thompson, Neena McClintic, Noelle McClintic and Annie Whited placed 3rd. They also ran season best time of 4:09.24
“The weather was extremely windy which unfortunately impacted many of our sprint races,” McClintic said.
“We were hoping to break more records but the weather in the sprints definitely affected. They still ran very well,” said the proud coach.
