Track and Field Kent Final Update... May 15, 2014

At the Track meet they battled some wind and dark clouds but overall had some fine results on the first day of the Kent County Championship track meet.

Ainsley McNamara was 1^st in the 1500m, Rachel Hoekstra was 1^st in the SR girls 1500m, Kyle Maerz was 4^th and Justin McNamara was 2^nd in the Sr. Boys 3000m, Jono Koomans was 2^nd in the High Jump, Amy Bultje was 2^nd in the High jump, Krissy Brooks was 3^rd in the Triple jump and Amy Koomans was 1^st in the triple jump, Victoria Koomans was 2^nd in the shot-put, Sandy Hakiza and Sam DeBoer were both top 4 in the women’s javelin and we had some great performances and some personal best by Brandon Koomans and Jillian Ball. 

Then on Day 2 they did another great job!

Rachel Hoekstra and Ainsley McNamara were “meet champions” – they both won all three of their events (800m, 1500m, and 3000m).  Amy Koomans added a 2^nd in the high jump and long jump to her accomplishments, Justin McNamara added a 2^nd in the 2000m steeplechase and Kyle Maerz added a 3^rd in the steeple and a 2^nd in the 1500m, (in a personal best time).  Dylan Wymenga was 3^rd in the Sr. boys 100m; Jonathan Koomans placed 1^st in the triple jump, 2^nd in the 400m and 2^nd in the high jump.  Victoria Koomans was 2^nd in the shot, discus and Javelin; Andrea Rintjema placed 3^rd in the 800… and we had other personal best performances against some tough competition by Jillian Ball in the throws (shot disc and javelin), Brandon Koomans in the throws, Stewart Watson in the 800 & 1500m and Dana Goin in the 200m.  Great job everyone!
