RAIDERS DOMINATE AT THE CYO FINALS By Randy Davies in Raider Sports News, Track 

On Wednesday night, May 1, at Serra 
High School, the St Rita Track team 
made quite an impression. The Raiders 
claimed their 65th and 66th CYO Track 
titles and added second and fourth 
place trophies for good measure.

The Varsity Boys took fourth in the 75 
team meet. Harrison MacDonald was 
their leading scorer as he took third in 
both the 800 and the 1600 and fourth 
in the javelin. He broke the school record 
in the 1600 in the process. Other 
scorers were Blake Howard and Jake 
Rose in the javelin and Sean Eustace in 
the 400.

The B Boys had the biggest improvement 
from the Prelims. The result of 
the improvement was a second place 
trophy. The 4×100 and 4×400 both 
took third. The trio of Andrew Amerio, 
Sharbel Challita and Vinnie Kunz 
all placed in the javelin, with Amerio 
setting a new school record. Christian 
Locateli, who set school records in the 
800 and 1600 earlier in the year, scored 
in the Long Jump and the 1600. Govind 
O’Campo was the CYO Champion 
in the shot put.

The B girls captured the CYO Championship 
for an unbelievable 21st time in 
the last 25 years! Highlights included 
both relay teams scoring, Jenna Mijares 
and Devon Nardoni setting CYO 
records in the 1600 and the javelin respectively. 
Jenna also scored in the 800. 
Emerson Gohrick and Hillary Howard 
each brought home three medals. 
Sprinter Amber Allen set a personal 
best in the 100 and anchored the 4×100 
relay.

The Varsity Girls scored a record 97 
points in more than doubling the score 
of runner-up St Paul the Apostle. The 
consensus highlight of the entire meet, was the sweep of the top three places in the 1600. Natalie O’Brien appearing in and winning a school record six CYO Championships was the CYO individual champion 
in the race. Natalie is the holder of most of our school distance records. She was followed in by Makenna Maucher and Caitlin Mispagel. Natalie Gohrick and Rebecca Troescher joined Makenna and Natalie 
O’Brien as triple medal winners. Rebecca was the CYO Champion in the 200 and only lost the 100 by one-hundredth of a second. Brenna Stuttenroth finished the year undefeated in the shot put with her victory. 
Kathleen Brady and Sarah Perret scored on the 4×100 relay team with Brady also taking second in the javelin where Tess Gauthier also scored.

The Championships extended the Raider’s streak of consecutive years with at least one Championship to 25 years. 63 of their 66 titles have come in that period.
