SFA Sets New Patriot Games Records in Relays and 100m

We signed our name in the history books at the Patriot Games Championships, hosted by John Carroll, in Bel Air MD yesterday. The Panthers Gold (Diggs, Bell, Williams, Jackson) 4x200m Relay set a new Championship record of 1:32.9. The Panthers Gold (Bell, Williams, Felder, Diggs) 4x100m Relay followed suit and set a new Championship record of 43.9 in that event. Michael Bell tied the 100m Championship record at 10.8, a personal record for him. Bell is is now co-owner of the Championship and school 100m record also held by Tyrus Costly '12. In his first year on the team, Sophomore, Noah Turley improved his seasonal 200m time by 1 full second, running a 23.5. Panthers Black 4x100m is showing great consistency, running 44.7 again, we look forward to moving them up to the Gold Team as our Seniors head off to college. Captains, Jawanza Diggs and Jared Jackson, ran seasonal personal bests in the 200m dash at 22.4 and 22.9 respectively. Jackson, the anchor leg of the national qualifier Panthers Gold 4x200m, is out in rest this week due to a minor injury. He will return for the MIAA Conference Championships next week. Congratulations SFA Panthers, see you this weekend at the Clash of the Titans Invitational @ New Town HS, Owings Mills MD.
