Over the past 2 months, our Boca Warrior track & field team has been busy training hard, competing across many events, and working towards their individual and team goals.
Track & Field is not for the faint of heart, and these athletes have proven themselves to be strong in mind, as well as body over these past 8 weeks.
2/10 Flying L MS & HS race
The Middle Schoolers started their season at the Flying L Distance Carnival in Fort Lauderdale, FL. It was a great event and a fantastic start to the season by all who ran that day!
Middle School
In the Middle School Girls' 3200m, Â 7th grader Barbarita Jedlicka took 1st place. Barbarita beat all of the HS girls as well, and crushed the qualifying standard (12:54) to make Middle School States by 38 seconds, with a time of 12:16.
MS Girls 800m, Makaela Morilla placed 1st.
MS Girls 1600m, Hanna Dohler placed 1st.
Our MS Girls 4x8 relay team of Barbarita, Adriana, Hanna & Makaela took 1st place. The girls beat the qualifying standard (11:15) for MS States by 29 seconds running it in 10:46.
Three of our girls, all beginners, plucked up the courage to race the 800 meters. 6th grader Layla Kaniki, 7th grader Brooklyn Russell & 9th grader Alex Margolis.
