We had a great day yesterday at the Sac Joaquin Section D1 Championship Trials. For those of you who weren’t there, here’s what went down, starting with our SJS Masters Meet qualifiers:
The girls discus throwers set the tone for the day. Sol Bitners is the SJS D1 Champ! She threw 138’11”. Sophie Coil finished 4th (120”2”) and Edison Hinrichs took 6th (114’4”). The girls combined for 18 points in what should be a close team battle between Davis and Whitney. Way to go, throwers!
Congrats to Emma Vogt, who took 4th in the triple jump. Emma had a very busy day, competing in four events!
The boys triple jumpers had a great day too, taking 2nd, 3rd, and 6th! Ben Feyrer jumped a PR 46’1.5”, Thomas Albeck jumped 44’11.25”, and Aidan Crawford jumped 43’8.25.”

The boys team of Tim McMahon, Tomas Ferns, Beckett Dolan, and Jeffy Wright finished first overall in a blazing time of 7:52.60.
