The 4x800 team was so exciting because there was such a close race for 2nd place but Marissa really sprinted hard to keep her place!  It was also the best time of the season - a PR of 10:09.14

Ally Hall runs 1st and hands off to Rowan McWilliams

Rowan hands off to Christina Ausley

Christina hands off to Marissa 

Marissa fought hard to the finish!

The 3200 M was extremely exciting because the lead kept going back and forth between Marissa and Grace W. from South.  Grace and Marissa has different running styles and Marissa followed Grace's style instead of running her own race.  She learned to run her own race because Grace kicks it in hard at the very end whereas Marissa likes to start strong and then maintain a steady pace, sprinting at the end but not as much as Grace.  She still ran a great race finishing 2nd in the region.

Marissa and Grace (and a girl from Presentation)

As a team we took 1st place for the first time in the history of NOHS!  We are the Regional Champions!!!
