The Girls Cross-Country team competed in the freshmen/sophomore championships at St. Anthony’s High School on Feb. 2. More than 40 schools competed in this invitational for top four medals in 10 events. 

Scarlett Fredrickson and eighth grader Maddy Haigh enjoyed their best performances of the season as Maddy ran the 1000m race (4:03.89), and Scarlett placed fourth overall in the 55m hurdles. Scarlett now holds the record freshman hurdle time in the 55m hurdles for Oyster Bay High School. 

“These two just keep plugging away are only going to improve over time,” said Coach Kevin Cotter. “They are a big part of our program’s present and future.”

Nicolette Lewis took home a gold medal in the long jump and the 55m hurdles. Although the eighth grader is not technically a freshman, she is allowed to compete at the freshman level. Although she was younger than anyone else on the track, she was dominant in both competitions. Her time of 10.37 in the hurdles was a full half second faster than the second place girls, and her long jump of 14’7 was almost a foot farther than the second place jumper. She would have earned medals in both events even at the sophomore level. 

In the 1500m race, Jocelyn Schadler came back from fifth place with 50 meters to go and sprinted ahead to place third with a time of 5:38. Emalyn Zeller placed seventh with her best time of the season of 5:55. 

Nicoletta Sakellis, the teams only sophomore, placed 32nd with a time of 52.17 in the 300-meter race. She also has the team’s fastest 200-meter time this season and hopes to eventually break 30 seconds in that event.
