TRACK & FIELD RECAP
VARSITY TRACK & FIELD
It has been a busy season for the Charlotte Latin track and field athletes! Our seniors were phenomenal as leaders and team cap- tains. Senior captain Madeleine Pease bested her school record in the high jump multiple times throughout the season, achieving a new mark of 5’3”, and winning both the CISAA Championship and the NCISAA Championship. In addition, Mada helped the girls 4x400m relay break the school record by 5 seconds. Mary Schleusner, Nina Lavelle (senior captain) and Maggie Klingman were the other participants in the record-breaking 4x400. Junior captain Will Vaughn made history by participating in his first and the school’s first-ever decathlon event placing first at the Raven’s Relays. The 4x100 relay team led by senior Daniel Haughton, senior and team captain Davis Thompson, Sam Haines and Rykin Maxwell moved up to the #3 all-time in this event. Another team cap- tain and a senior, Harrison Klingman, is leaving his mark by moving up to the #3 spot on Latin’s all-time performance lists in 1600m and 3200m. Senior captain Nina Lavelle made school history with top-three Latin all-time performances in 100m and 200m. Junior Morgan Smith, a newcomer to the pole vault, tied the second-best mark in school history and finished third at the NCISAA Cham- pionship. Senior Morgan Stradford moved to 2nd place in Latin school history for the triple jump and remains in 2nd place for the long jump from her achievement during the 2021 season. Jackson Scott also moved up to third place on the Latin all-time list in the triple jump. At the CISAA championships, hosted by Latin, both boys and girls teams finished 3rd overall behind PDS and CDS. At the NCISAA championships, Hawks finished 4th in the girls and 5th in the boy’s divisions, respectively.
MIDDLE SCHOOL TRACK & FIELD
I was really excited coming into this season. We almost doubled in size from last season, which gave us lots of options to work with this year. There were so many great performances, both team and individual. I was extremely proud of how the team soaked in all the information that was taught throughout the year and transformed in to a well-rounded team. It was a very young team, so I’m looking forward to what the future brings for next year!
