Falcons Win Track Meet
Stuart Serventi, Agnese Sagnavio, and Arielle Guzman lead way for Falcon.
The Falcons were the meet leaders in points from their Novice (grades 3 and 4) and Junior Varsity (grades 5 and 6), and had 677.5 points to the 487.5 scored by the nearest opponent, Chaminade. Several were running their first long-distance event, and there was the high jump event at the meet, an event not usually held at Falcons track. Several runners won multiple individual events: Stuart Serventi, Agnese Sagnavio (who tied for first in the girls JV 800), and Arielle Guzman, who all won the 800 and 1600 meter races. The Falcons swept the podium with the top three runners in several Novice and JV races.
