F.I.T. Invitational: Genuario Regionally Qualifies in 3200m

The Wolverines competed in their third and final meet of Winter Break, closing out 2012 with many athletes setting new personal bests.  There were over 30 teams participating in the F.I.T. Invitational and West Potomac had three competitors place in the top 6.

Junior Katie Genuario notched her second Regional qualifying mark of the season, running her 3200m in 11:22.52.  Genuario was over 30 seconds faster than her time from last year's meet, and placed 4th overall.  Also competing strong for the Lady Wolverines was Lauren Price, who was 6th in the 1000m and within a second of her season best.  Junior Kelly Slatery cleared 4-6 in the High Jump and had a new season best in the 55m hurdles with a 10.27.

Leading the way for the boys team was senior Corey Rosenberg, who leaned out for 4th place in the 1000m.  Rosenberg's 2:40.97 is a new indoor personal best, and just off his time from the polar bear meet earlier this season.

The rest of the team will return to competition on January 12th in a polar bear meet at Lake Braddock.
