The Greensburg Lady Pirates Track & Field Team traveled to Nashville early Saturday morning to compete in the 9 team Brown County Talon Relays. The Lady Pirates placed 3rd overall with 101 points and were very competitive with the runner up team Columbus North (108) & the champion team Brown County (113.5). The girls won 2 events & placed very well in 14 of the 17 contested events.
Two big highlights of the day included Championship performances by Ashlynn Meyer in the 100 hurdles and the Shot Put Team of Erin Browning & Lily Grimes. Other big scorers included the Distance Medley Relay team of Cathy Newhart, Kayla Davis, Cami Jones, and Shelby Pake as they earned Runner Up Championship status. All the ladies had great performances with some personal records and season bests. The Distance Medley Team and 4 x 400 Relay team both improved and ran season best times. Individual PRs were also marked by Davis in her 400 splits of the DMR & 4 x 400, Newhart in her 1200 DMR split, Jones in her 800 DMR split and Jaylin Hampton in long Jump.
The meet ended with one of the most anticipated and closest races of the entire day when the Lady Pirate throwers took to the track in the 4 x 100 Throwers Relay. Although the girls placed 3rd only 0.14 seconds separated them from taking the gold!
The Lady Pirates will travel to Franklin Community High School for their last duel meet of the season on Tuesday, April 26.
