The cost is $3, but be sure to bring some extra money for the food and drinks! Listen to the morning announcements for more details.
Track:

She also placed second in the 400 meter breaking the school record with a time of 1:05:56. Jada also won 3rd place in the Long Jump. The relay team of Sarah Denney, Santiya Stewart, Kelli Parker and Jada Roberts won the 4x100 relay, breaking the school record with a time of 54:46. Kelli Parker rose to the occasion by winning the Long Jump. Teshana Futch took second place in the Shot Put and Samoan Gadsen placed 5th. In the discus, all three girls scored with Tori Jordan taking 5th, Morgan Butler placing 6th, and Teshana Futch placing 7th. The High Jump also had all three girls scoring with Taylor Diciolla tying for 3rd, Eva Joyce taking 6th place, and Kelli Parker placing 7th. The team leader Santiya Stewart took 2nd place in the 200 meter and 3rd place in the 100 meter among a strong field of sprinters. Another 7th grade student Lizzie Burchfield scored 7th in the Hurdles and then led off the 3rd place 800 Medley team of Kelli Parker, Sarah Denney and Savannah Martinson. All the girls did an outstanding job and should be proud of themselves for working hard and doing their best to win the meet. With the strength of our 7th grade students this season it should be another exciting season to watch in 2009. Go Cyclones!
