Batavia Quad Meet Results!
On Saturday, Feb.24, the DGS Girls Track & Field team traveled to Batavia to compete in a quad meet against Oswego, Glenbard North, and the host school Batavia. No team scores were kept as this was only the 2nd meet of the season, but the girls performed well and showed improvement over last week’s home opener.
The Mustangs finished the day with three 1st place efforts. Erin Reidy (So) placed 1st in the 800m run with an excellent time of 2:19.57. In a dual with an accomplished Oswego runner (Isabelle Christiansen), Erin took the lead on the 2nd lap and slowly pulled away for the victory. Brenna Cohoon (So) led a host of Mustangs to the finish line of the 1600m race. Brenna led from start to finish to win with a season best time of 5:24.22. The DGS distance crew dominated the race finishing with the first 6 places, all within 7 seconds of Brenna. The 4x400m relay team of Kelley Hackbarth (Sr), Alisha Macas (Jr), Erin Reidy (So), and Becky Versaskas (Jr) won the final event of the meet with a great time of 4:11.99.
