By Ayame Merkel, Staff WriterThe Penn Relays, hosted by the University of Pennsylvania, is the world’s largest and most widely recognized relay meet; Isabella Carrara, Ella Keuhn, Ayame Merkel and Maddy Perry had the chance to travel to and compete in.
The entire track team also has been able to compete at New York invitational meets, thanks to FHU track and field coaches John Oakman, Randy Shutter, and Nathan Stone, who tirelessly provide their athletes with amazing opportunities. “The coaches...have made the sport a much more memorable and outstanding experience in my life,” Reilly reflects. Caleb says, “I don't think it's possible the coaches in any team in sport history are better than Randy Shutter and Jonathan Oakman.”
Along with our seniors, many of our juniors and underclassmen have been very successful. Ava Shull and Nathaniel Young have competed multiple times this season in the 2K and 3K meter steeplechase. Both girls and boys have promising 4 by 100 and 4 by 400 relays. At the SVL (Southern VT League) Championship on May 24th, the team saw a great number of wins. This includes the boys 4 by 100 relay in 1st place; Noah Beayon in 2nd place in the 100 meters and 1st in the 200; Patrick Stone in 1st for pole vault with a new PR of 11 feet 1 inch; David Doran, 1st in shot put; Nathaniel Young, 1st in the 300 meter hurdles; and Alexandra Williams placing 1st in the 100 and 200 meter dashes and 3rd in the 400.
At the Essex Invitational Meet, to qualify for the New Englands Championship on June 18th, Patrick Stone qualified for pole vault and Noah Beayon qualified for the 100 and 200. At the same meet, Patrick Stone, Reilly Flanders, Luke Williams, and Noah Beayon of the boys 4 by 100 relay placed 1st in all of Vermont, and they will also compete at the upcoming New Englands Championship. This relay team secured their position as best in the state at the DII State Championship on Friday, June 3rd.
