The West Potomac Outdoor
Track and Field squad finished up the season with some great performances in
the last Northern Region Championship meet – and the final AAA state
competition. Next year, the Virginia High School League (VHSL) will be
reorganized, meaning those “Northern Region Champions” banners will likely be
available for fire sale prices!

The Northern Region meet -
held May 23-24 at Robinson High School – was both exhilarating and
heartbreaking for our West Po competitors. The girls 4 x 800 relay of Sophia
Passacantando, Lauren Price, Katie Genaurio and Meredith Barber qualified for the
State Meet with a 3rd place finish and a season best time of
9:43:04. The boys 4 x 800 of Luca Halladay, Cullen O’Boyle, Corey Rosenberg and
Crispin Bernier just missed qualifying for States by finishing fourth, despite
a very quick time of 8:05.74, close to the state auto qualifying standard.
In the individual events,
Katie Genuario qualified for States with a third place finish in the 3200 meter
run. Ke’Shaun Davis punched her ticket to States with a sixth place finish in
the 100 yard dash.

The girls 4 x800, Genaurio
and Davis joined Lozie Goolsby (high
jump) and Mychael Gyamfi (discus) – who had previously qualified to compete
at the last Virginia AAA Track and Field Championships.
Todd Stadium in Newport News
VA was hot and humid this past weekend but our athletes gave it their all. Leading the way for the Wolverines was Katie Genaurio who finished 13th in the 3200m run. The Girls 4 x 800 finished 16th. Lozie Goolsby was 19th in the high jump. Mychael Gyamfi was 19th in the discus, and Ke'Shaun Davis was 24th in the 100m dash preliminary round.
Complete results for the State Meet can be found here.
Congratulations to all the West Potomac athletes who competed in the Northern Region and Virginia AAA State Championships!
