Girls Track- Wait ends for Tease, Garnet Valley in 4 x 200 record pursuit

HAVERFORD >> Maura Tease bounded across the infield at Haverford’s A.G Cornog Field as soon as Garnet Valley’s winning time in the 4 x 200-meter relay was announced. Fellow senior Meghan Arters had the same reaction, as did the other members of the team, junior Liz O’Brien and freshman Grace Zamrowski. Their goal was to break the school record in the event at the Girls Delco Relays and did so by nearly two seconds with a time of 1 minute, 47.90 seconds. The old record was 1:49.77 in a rare event that is not run at high school dual meets or postseason meets and is only at select invitationals.

“We figured this was our last chance to do it and we really wanted it,” Arters said.

“We’ve been working toward this since the beginning of the indoor season,” Tease said. “We kept getting closer and closer to it and to finally to it feels so good.”

The gold was the second of the day for Zamrowski, who teamed with Isabella Ha to win the high jump relay with a combined leap of 9 feet, 11 inches. Zamrowski turned in her personal best with a jump of 5-1.

“Yeah,” Zamrowski said. “I had a good day.”

She wasn’t alone in that aspect.

Symphonie Blalock turned in the best throws of her career to help Springfield win the shot put and discus relays. Meghan Lynch and Rylie Butler both came away with a pair of gold medals as Ridley took first in the 4 x 100, long and triple jump relays. Ava Crawford and Julia Benner were on two of the four relays that Strath Haven won.
