April 1st, 2014 was a monumental day for Oldfields track and field and that is no April Fool’s joke. The results recorded at the meet against John Carroll are the best any Oldfields track and field team has ever achieved. Moreover, the successes were distributed equally among the girls on the team and the energy and sportsmanship in which the girls displayed set them apart from their competitors. All in all, the girls not only achieved impressive athletic marks today, but they represented their school with more pride than a coach could have asked for.
The full results will be listed below, however, a few honorable mentions are in order. Captain Matilda Meades-Cubitt ’14 (Washington, DC) continued to lead by example by qualifying for the IAAM Championships in the long jump, 200m, and 400m events. Matilda also set a new school record in the 200m and ran the anchor leg on the championship 4x400m relay team. Brittany McGill ’15 (New York, NY) appeared in her second-ever outdoor track meet and competed in a tough and enduring 3200m race. Bibi followed any and all directions from Coach Letourneau and finished in 14:13 with much left in the tank—it is evident that she is beginning to acquire specific race tactics that will enable her to perform even better as she continues. Additional shout-outs go to the dynamite sub-34-second 200m club—which is a serious feat for a young high school runner. Matilda, Sukanya Pusey ’16 (New York, NY), Asantewaah Ofosuhene ’15 (Irvington, NJ), Anna Lisa Dreisbach ’15 (Lutherville, MD), Jordan Melbourne ’17 (Severn, MD), and Jenaba Sow ’17 (New York, NY) all posted impressive marks in the 200m and will all be vying for a IAAM Championship qualifying time. Congratulations, ladies.
