Xavier Prep’s track and field team had what might have been
its best overall performance of the season on Thursday (March 30) in the Ron
Smith Classic invitational at Phoenix Shadow Mountain.
The Gators had six first-place finishes, including two
relays and seven second-place finishes, including another relay.
Xavier individual winners were Paris Rasheed-Moore in the
200-meter dash, Helen Innes in the 1,600-meter run, Sarah Carter in the
3,200-meter run and Jada Sims in the 100-meter hurdles. Xavier also won the
4x100 and the 4x400 relays.
The Gators are expected to participate in the Sun Angel
Classic invitational at Arizona State on April 6 and the Arcadia (Calif.)
Invitational on April 7 and 8.
