Girls Place 3rd at District Meet!

The Palmer Trinity Girls Track Team had the highest finish ever for a Falcon Girls Track Team as they took 3rd out of 8 teams in the FHSAA District 16 Track Championships!
There were several outstanding performances as the Falcons defeated several traditional powers.  Janelle Gonzalez had a huge meet, breaking her own school record in the 800m with a time of 2:33.2 and then anchoring the girls 4 x 400 relay - running down a girl from Westminster Christian after getting the baton almost 40 yards behind her!  Gonzalez qualifies for next week's Region IV Meet in both events along with the 4 x 800 Relay which took 2nd Place.

Savannah Milton also scored big, racking up 28 points through her individual and relay events.  Milton was the DISTRICT CHAMPION in the High Jump and District Runner Up in the Long Jump while also running on two relay teams.  Sofia Iglesias also was a DISTRICT CHAMP, winning the Discus throw despite a back injury that kept her from throwing her best.
