Record Relay Romp! Lady Minutemen Etch Two More
Relay Records Into The Annals January 25th, J.C. Armory - The 2012-13 rendition of the EHS Lady Minutemen aren't as ornately heralded as some runners in the past, but they do have one distinction that clearly separates them from groups of old.....they break records! The foursome of Giorvania LeRouge, Natalie Antunes, Esther Jean-Louis, and Tamoya Brown began the meet and ended the meet with school records at the Ed Grant Last Chance Invitational. First, they teamed up to produce a 4 x 800m clocking of 10:06.8, deducting over 6 seconds off of the school record set back in 2012. For an encore, they won the meet concluding 4 x 400m relay in an unexpected school record of 4:12.2, shaving tenths off the record that they set earlier in the season. ****************************************** |
