On Friday, April 25, the Harvey track and field  team competed in a three-team FAA invitational hosted by Hackley in Tarrytown and also attended by Masters. The Harvey team performed well in this small competition with many personal best performances and some school records, too.

The top three finishers for the boys were O'Neil Ellis, placing second in the 100m dash with a time of 12.28 seconds and Felipe Torres who placed third in the 1600m with a time of 4 minutes and 52.95 seconds, which is an outdoor school record.

For the girls' team, the top three individual finishers included Caitlin Savitt in the 100 hurdles (No.2 - 20.96) and 400 hurdles (No.3 - 80.53), and Shae Falconer in the shot put (No.2- 27 ft 11in), which was also an outdoor school record. The girls' 4x400m relay team of Lilah Groff, Emily Bigman, Vivienne Stoller, and Ella Adler placed third in a time of 5:10.73, while both the distance medley relay and 800m sprint medley relay (SMR) placed first. The distance medley relay (DMR) team of Ally Zimmerman, Vivienne Stoller, Ella Adler, and Lilah Groff placed first in a school record time of 14:10.98, while the 800m SMR team of Sophia Beldotti, Ladidi Abdul-Wahab, Mollie Weisberger, and Ally Zimmerman also earned a school record with their time of 1:59.34.

“I was particularly pleased with the results from our SMR and DMR teams Friday,” said Harvey head coach Christian Coscio who added: “Ally Zimmerman, who was on both relays, had an excellent day, earning strong splits, including a blistering 63.05 400m anchor leg for the SMR, en route to victory. Lilah Groff also has a strong 1600m anchor for the DMR, competing against a boys relay team from Masters, as they combined the races into one. Vivienne and Ella also ran strong DMR legs, while the handoffs between Sophia, Ladidi, and Mollie were some of the best we've had all season.”

The team will return to action at Brunswick School in Greenwich Wednesday, April 30, for another FAA Invitational.
