Girls Track: Tigers second in indoor finale

Hannah Seitzinger
1st in 800-meter run

Farmington won three events and finished second in eight others to place second in an indoor triangular meet held Saturday, Apr. 9, at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls.
Shakopee finished atop the standings with 71 points, followed by Farmington with 50 and Holy Angels 38.
"We ran pretty well on the track, but we are needing to find ways to score in the field events," coach Tom Hart said. "Overall it was a great day and every athlete got a chance to compete."
Two of the three Tiger wins came in relays where the 4x800 team of Maria Kiminski, Maggie Strid, Bailey Opsal and Nicole Clifton and the 4x200 foursome of Mary Cline, Courtney Johnston, Alyssa Parco and Erin Hickey led the field.
Hannah Seitzinger provided the lone individual first place effort with a win in the 800-meter run.
The 4x400 relay quartet of Parco, Kiminski, Hickey and Clifton also ran well in finishing second.
Individual second place finishes went to Strid (800-meter run and triple jump); Kiminski (400-meter dash); Cline (200-meter dash); Hickey (long jump); Victoria Jacoby (1200-meter run) and Alysha Grebner (high jump).
Three more Farmington entrants ranked third: Opsal in the 1600-meter run; Grebner in the shot put and Graham in the 400-meter dash.
