The Upper Merion girls ran a great meet against a tough Cheltenham team
yesterday. Although they lost 49-101, many girls placed in individual
events and achieved personal bests. Two girls, Gwen Alvord in high jump and
Tina Stewart in shot put, achieved their first qualification of two needed
in a dual meet to participate in the district competition in May. Other
girls that placed in the meet were Brianna Alvarez (1st in 400 meters and
triple jump, 2nd in long jump), Gwen Alvord (2nd in high jump and 3rd in
pole vault), Tina Stewart (2nd in shot, 1st in discus), Amber McAteer (1st
in mile and 1st in 800), Tamahra Sheard (3rd in mile and 3rd in 2 mile),
Kayla Ricketts (2nd in 100 meters), Jalen Pinnock (3rd in 200 meters),
Sophia Liu (2nd in 2 mile) and Johnna Byrd (1st in javelin). Tomorrow, we
will compete in a tri-meet against Upper Moreland and Upper Dublin at Upper
Moreland.
