Junior High Track News: On Friday, May 4, 2006, the Ephrata Mounts Junior High Track and Field team came up short to a tough Hempfield team. The highlight of the night was the amount of records that were broken!
It started when 8th grader Allison Hunt broke team mate Gabby Gehr's record of 13.3. Allison shaved a tenth of a second off the previous record, lowering it to 13.2 and picked up a first place finish along the way.
Two events after, Mickey Molchany ran victorious in the mile breaking Givi Palagashvilli's 2004 record of 5:10 with a second place finish, and a new record of 5:09. Keeping up with this "fast track" the girls 4x100 relay of Jenna Miller, Megan Bramble, Hunt, and Gehr ran to a new school record of 55.9.
The last two records that were broken were both in the 800 meter run. First, coming in first place, 7th grader, Kathleen Andriani ran her heart out lowering Brynn Lyons' record of a 2:38 down to 2:36. Right after that Daniel Witwer ran a 3rd place finish with a time of a 2:21.
