Velocity Track Club 2021 highlights
Scanlan’s blessings continue
The blessings continue in 2022 at
Monsignor Scanlan High School. On
Sunday, Jan. 2, the Crusaders started
the year on a positive note. We had a
small group compete in the CHSAA
Jr. Weight & Novice Championship
at the Ocean Breeze Facility. There
were no freshman races, so this gave
our freshman girls an opportunity
to see how they will perform against
sophomore, junior and varsity athletes.
We competed in the following
events: varsity high jump, long jump,
55 meters, 300 meters, 600 meters
and 4×200-meter relay. Awards were
given to the top fi ve athletes in the
event.
The Crusaders pride stood tall.
Dakota Hickman won the high jump;
Saniah Caldwell won the long jump;
Kimaris Hickman competed in the
mix (girls and boys) 55 meters race.
She was the fi rst girl and took seventh
overall. Candice ran in the mix (girls
and boys) 300 meters race, and fi nished
as the fi rst girl and sixth overall. Dakota,
Kimaris, Saniah and Candice ran
the varsity girls 4×200-meter relay and
fi nished in second place, taking more
than two seconds off their best time
and they qualifi ed to run the fi nals at
the New Balance Games.
Dontae Lindo competed in his fi rst
high school 300- and 600-meter race. He
fi nished 12th out of 117 athletes in the
300 meters and 13th out of 48 athletes
in the 600 meters. Great job Crusaders.
Our next meet is on Saturday, Jan.
8, the Ocean Breeze Freedom Games
