The Saunemin-Odell-St. Paul's-Pontiac Christian Track team had an amazing Sectional Track meet in Seneca on Saturday, May 8th. The team had 17 State Qualifiers out of 35 athletes that competed that day. To qualify for the State Track meet, athletes had to finish 1st or 2nd in their event. In addition to all the qualifiers, we had many 3rd place finishes as well.
The 7th grade girls team came away Champions of the day by almost doubling the 2nd place teams score. The entire 7th grade girls team qualified for state, with most of the girls qualifying in 2, 3, or even all 4 of their events.
These kids will get out of school on Friday to head to East Peoria to compete. They will also get to spend the night in a hotel Friday night and then finish competing on Saturday.
