Track

Track is mainly grinding down to a stop, but not for some. At regionals held May 17 at Grosse Pointe South, senior Kayla Harvey placed fifth in the shot put. Seniors Kye Dozier and Eleni Haralampopoulous, junior Elandra Sledge, and sophomore Kayla Richards earned a spot at the upcoming state meet running the 4×400. They broke the previously held school record of 4:18 with a 4:06 winning time.

 “The girls were very coachable”, coach Reymond Cabarris said. “(They are) hard working and dedicated. They’ve been with it since freshman year and have come a long way. They kept working at it and, despite not seeing eye-to-eye all the time, they kept working at it and knew that the coaches only had their best intentions at heart. Hats off to them.”

There was a freshman and sophomore meet on May 20 at Grosse Pointe North, a “Champions of Macomb County” meet at Warren Woods on May 21, and State Championships at Rockford, just outside of Grand Rapids, coming up soon.
