CHICAGO MARIST TRACK AND FIELD

On March 7, 2006, the Sophomore-Freshman Northside Track and Field Team upset Fenton to improve their combined season record to 20-4!. The meet started with the 4x800m Relay, and the Mustangs did not score a point on either the Sophomore-Freshman Team or Varsity Team in the 4x800m Relay. It quickly began too look like it would be a difficult day against Track and Field powerhouse, Fenton High School. However, Jose Choto, Jerry Tran, Kyle Diep, and Hiro Joho quickly changed the momentum with a dramatic 4x135 Yard Relay (1:08.5) victory over Fenton (1:09.1). Freshman Jonathan Kittaka then won the 3200m run with an outstanding time of 11:50.2. Sophomore Brad Eben placed 2nd overall in the 3200m run with a time of 13:15.22. Freshman Benjamin Garcia placed 4th in the Shot Put with a throw of 29'0. Albert Lin (16'6), and Wemi Jemine (16'5) placed 3rd and 4th respectively in the Long Jump. Lin also placed second in the Triple Jump (31'10). The Mustangs swept the High Jump, lead by Wemi Jemine (5'2), Eric Ullrich (5'0), Benjamin Garcia (4'10), Craig Melhuse (4'8), and Jerry Tran (4'8). Jose Choto placed 2nd in the 200m Dash with an outstanding time of 26.7. The Mustangs edged Fenton by two points to secure the victory. Several members of the Sophomore-Freshman Track and Field Team will participate in a CPS All Star Meet on Saturday, March 11, 2006, and the entire team will return to action for the Sophomore-Freshman Championships on March 21, 2006.
