The Dock track and field team split their team between runners and jumpers at the Unionville Invitational and thrower at The Reagan Throws Open hosted by the Pioneers.
It was a day for records with nine personal records and one season best at the Unionville meet and three athletes getting PRs at the Reagan meet named in honor of former Dock throws coach Bob Reagan.
At the throws meet, Emily Merrill won the javelin with a throw of 64-feet-10, and was second in the girls shot put with a personal-record 23-4 throw. Her 64-foot discus throw was just off her personal best and placed her third.
Amy Muhlfeld threw a personal-best 18-7.75 for fifth in the girls shot put. She also took second in the girls javelin with a 61-11 heave.
Gabby Kaelin threw a new personal best of 57-5 for sixth in the girls discus.
Logan Naidoo’s 16-1.5 throw was a new best in the girls shot put. She threw 42-9 in her first attempt with the girls javelin. She placed fifth in the girls discus with her 60-2 throw.
It was another good meet for Xander Morsby. One day after a school-record triple jump, the junior won the boys event at the Unionville Invitational. He also finished seventh in the boys 100 meters in 11.83 seconds and capped his day with a seventh-place run in the boys 200 meters in a season-best 23.52 seconds, just three-hundredths off his personal best. The time puts him third in the 200 in the District 1 AA rankings.
