Molly Grant from St. John Fisher by Two Tenths of a Second!….. Wowzers

Sr. Krista von Borstel Leave a comment

Molly Grant  and Jalynn Gill fought a great race right down to the wire which separated them by two tenths of a second at the CYO Meet of Champions May 17th, 2015 at Jesuit High School.  Both girls came into the championships with seed times less than a second apart.

In my opinion, the 400 meter “dash” which was known as a “run” in my day takes a lot of fortitude and courage to compete in.  These girls make it look easy as they “dash” all the way around the entire track.  It was a great competition all the way around!

Aidan Maloney From St. Matthew Owns The High Jump Event

Sr. Krista von Borstel Leave a comment

You can watch Aidan Maloney grow up on the front of the CYO Meet of Champions book because he has won the boys high jump nearly every year of his participation in CYO Track and Field!  I would have liked to have seen Aidan take the CYO record with him as well when he moves on to High School.  With a best seed height of 5’9″ and a championship height of 5’5″ he was not far from the record of 5’11 set in 2009 by Marcus Yoo.

A great kid with a lot of courage and fortitude, Aidan will be fun to watch as he moves on the High School.  Thanks for some great races as well Aidan!

CHAMPION: Aidan Maloney (St. Matthew) 5’5″

Alyssa Hughes from St. Clare, Long Jump Title and Race Contender

Sr. Krista von Borstel Leave a comment

Alyssa Hughes has been fun to watch these several years during her track and field career.  She can jump long, high and is an incredibly fast sprinter.  You had better have your game together if she is in the contest!  Her long jump of 15’5″ about a foot and a half shy of the CYO record, garnered her the 2015 gold medal in the CYO Meet of Champions.  Nice job Alyssa!

Jayden Holgado from St. Matthew Cadet Boys Long Jump King

Sr. Krista von Borstel Leave a comment

In the 2014 CYO Meet of Champions, Jayden Holgado won the Long Jump, High Jump and 100 Yard dash!  No small feat!  He stepped up to the Cadet level this year and won the long jump with a jump of 18’10”.  His jump was a foot and a half short of the CYO Record.  I am betting he might just capture that record next year and I will be watching!  Good job Jayden and all of the Cadet Boy Long Jumpers!
