Last year many new records were made, and this year many of those records are being proudly broken. Amy Richburg has broken both the 100 and 200-meter records from last year, both held by Rachel Jarvis. Currently the record to break is 15.9 for the 100 and 35.0 for the 200.

Also having the honor of new records is Allie Byrne. She broke the 800-meter record with a 3:01.6 at U-32, and has taken over the long jumb record with a distance of 10 feet, 4 inches.

Continuing the girls’ streak of record breaking times and distances is Holly Mugford. Mugford reached a record in the 300-meter hurdles with a time of 70 seconds. Seth Dezan is also breaking records, this year for the males at the school, In the shot put he threw a 29’ 7" and a 113’ 7" in the javelin.
