New Records set at 2015 Holiday Invitational

Congratulations to our SHS Indoor Track athletes who set 6 NEW SPARKMAN INDOOR RECORDS in last Saturday’s “Holiday Invitational!

Jr. Hailey Brown decided to re-write the Sparkman Indoor Record Book in a big way.
Hailey is the NEW SPARKMAN INDOOR RECORD holder in both the Girls 1600m AND the 3200m race. Her time of 5:52.36 in the 1600m beat the old record by nearly 18 seconds!
In the Girls 3200m, her time of 13:30.05 beat, by more than 28 seconds, the previous SHS Indoor record set by Tiffany Davis. Tiffany’s mark had stood since 2001 !

Of note is Freshman Lauryn Hall who came within 2 hundredths of a second of breaking her own NEW SPARKMAN INDOOR RECORD in the prelims of the 60m Dash! She finished 9th, just outside the points in a field of 177 girls!

In the Mens 3200m, Freshman John-David Ray set the NEW SPARKMAN INDOOR RECORD at

Record Result at the Regional Qualifier!

Congratulations to all of our Sparkman Cross Country Team runners on their performances in the Regional Qualifying meet.

We had individual State Qualifiers, A NEW SPARKMAN BOYS RECORD, a Boys Team finish of 3rd and for the first time in 16 years … our Sparkman Boys qualified a TEAM for State!

For the girls, Junior Hailey Brown not only PR’d in the 5k, she made the “All Section Team” and individually qualified to compete at State!!!
Also setting new “personal record” times in the 5k were, Soph. Makayla Tomaino, 7th grader Baily Wallace and Sr. Kaitlyn Williams.

For the Boys team It was Senior Seth Graham leading the way! Seth took an Individual 2nd PLACE, made the “All Section Team” and set a NEW SPARKMAN BOYS RECORD in the 5k distance! That’s the way to leave your mark as a Senior!

Also making the “All Section Team” was Jr. Harrison Miller who finished 10th with a new PR time!

We had another 4 Senators finish with PR times in the 5k Distance.
These were – Sr. Bailey Herfurth, Soph. Jake Maier, Fresh. Shafi Muhammad and Monrovia Middle 7th grader Austin Al-Dajaili.

Our State Qualifying Team was made up of – Seth Graham, Harrison Miller, Jake Russell, Bailey Herfurth, John-David Ray, Shafi Muhammad and Jake Maier.

While we have had several, State Qualifying runners over the past few years, to qualify as a team you must have at least 5, top point scoring runners in the event. We had 5 PLUS two more alternates.

It’s been a GREAT season for all our CC runners and we look foreword to seeing our Senators compete at STATE!

The Team Motto: I don’t stop when I’m tired, I quit when I’m done!! GO SENATORS!!

 On Saturday the Senator’s Cross Country team competed in the St. Bernard’s Oktoberfest Invitational in Cullman.

Though the course was the same as in the past, the race directors reversed the direction putting tougher hills towards the end of the race. But that didn’t stop many of our runners from shaving up to three minutes off their times from last year.

The Varsity Girl placers were Junior Hailey Brown (19th) and Sophomore Makayla Tomaino (23rd), both girls cutting about two minutes off their time from last year.

The Junior Varsity Boys finished fourth out of eight teams. Placing in the 2 mile event where Freshmen Kyler Waters (13th) and Hanif Muhammad (20th), who set a Personal Record for the distance.

Junior Varsity Girls finished fifth out of eight teams with two runners placing, Freshman Mary Frances Burch (4th) and MMS 8th grader Elisha Jones (9th). The team is looking forward to the final meets of season leading up to State Qualifying.

Come out Tuesday afternoon to John Hunt Park to cheer on the team, first race is at 3:00.
