Feb. 19, 2005
Sam Mertz finished 2nd in the Shot Put on Friday night to lead all Deep Run athletes at this weekend's Colonial District Track and Field Championship. The girls 4x200 relay team of Sophia Arrue, Elana Simonazzi, Ellen Olberding, and Erin Callahan captured 3rd to top all Deep Run girls.
Deep Run's boys improved dramatically on last year's performance, as five individuals joined the boys 4x800 M relay in advancing to the Regional Championship meet. Kirk Fisher finished in a tie for 4th in the high jump, Kyle Sexton finished 4th in the 300M, David Lynch finished 6th in the 500M, and Kellen Walters finished 6th in the triple jump.
The girls finished with more points (31) than last year (28) despite the absence of sprint and jump star Megan Fuson who suffered a minor hamstring injury last week. All three relay teams (4x200, 4x400, and 4x800) again advanced to the Regional Championship, along with 4 individuals. Erin Gallagher finished 5th in the 55M hurdles, Erin Bragg finished 3rd in the 1000M, and Lindsey Jones finished 6th in the 3200M. Megan Fuson qualified for the regional championship in the 300M with her strong finish at the Virginia Tech High School invitational earlier this season.
