Over the past three months, they have accomplished the following:

• 3rd place in the Millrose Games 4×800 – Mia Wickard-Emily Wickard-Allison Reid-Katie Hayes
• 3rd place at the league championships as a team. Highest in 10 years.  Allison Reid League champ in the 1000. Mia Wickard League Champion in the 3000.  Emily Wickard League Champ in the 1500. 
• Large School County Team Champions. Third time ever.  First time in 10+ years.  Allison Reid County Champ in the 1000 and 1500.  Mia Wickard County Champ in 3000, Finnley Wickard 2nd.  Allison Reid, Emily Wickard, Katie Hayes 1-2-3 in the 1500.  Mia Wickard, Finnley Wickard, Emily Wickard, Katie Hayes were 4×8 County Champions.

She ran 2 miles in 10:55 on the first day of Nationals.  The second day of Nationals, Mia Wickard (5:12), Finnley Wickard (5:21), Emily Wickard (5:10), and Katie Hayes (5:20) captured Northport’s first All American honors since 2010 Outdoor Track with their 5th place finish at New Balance Nationals.

The relay consists of 1000m, 200m, 600m and 1600m. Olivia’s leg is the 200m
• “Winning States was a dream come true,” said Jaworski. “I give the other three girls a lot of credit because they helped me get to that point. But I went out there and ran a personal best. That’s what I was expecting to do and somehow, we won States. It was mind-boggling.”
• Allison Reed is the Suffolk County Outstanding Runner of the Year

Got all that?

Add all of this to the success of both team in the fall Cross Country season and the squads are looking to continue the winning in Spring Track. The boys are coached by Jason Strom, the girls by Greg Cantwell, Nick Gueits handles the throwers and Beth Zebuth is the Track and Field Program Coordinator. The teams will go back to dual meets where they will compete one on one with other schools in their league during the week. They will also participate in invitation meets throughout the spring and will leverage these to shoot for person records and county and state qualifications.

Both teams open up against Smithtown East on Thursday. The boys at home and the girls travel to St. James.

“Winning the League Title this year in Spring Track would be cool,” said Cantwell of the girls team. “Northport hasn’t done that in a really long time. I think we have a shot at. Connetquot has a very good team and Huntington has a really good sprint group, but we should win a few dual meets.”

“Throwers are looking to dominate the division in discus this year,” said Gueits. “Junior Ethan Makaw and Senior Kelly Kropp are going to have really great seasons.”
