HT Spring Sports Roundup for 05.12.17

Lady Tigers score 24 points and finish 7th at the Elmhurst Sectional Meet

Big news of the night - Mellanie Barnes qualified for the State Finals by posting a new PR and
finishing second in the 800 meter run. She becomes the first Lady Tiger to qualify for the
state finals since Caretha Carroll qualified in 2000 and 2001. Four more PRs were set
Thursday afternoon by Abiola Salimon and Moshay Turner. Abiola lowered her personal
records in the 100 and 300 meter hurdle events. Not to be outdone, Moshay lowered her
personal records in the 100 and 400 meter sprints. All four times were good enough to enable
the ladies to bring home sectional medals.

IHSA girls track sectional results from Elmhurst Immaculate Conception (see link below):

Congratulations and good luck to Mellanie next week in Charleston at the State Meet.
