2012 Season
Even with the loss of some very talented seniors last season, the 2012 St. Francis DeSales girls track and field team returns some very strong senior performers in Sophia Nnadi and Jenny Barrett in the throwing events, distance runners Amy Schockling and Erica Davis, as well as junior talents of Leah Selmek, Kara Hoying and DeShae Nelson. Other stand-out performers include Erin Kuisti, Ashli Pope, and Kristin Faulkner. All of these athletes are worthy of making the Regional or State level of competition this season in their respective events for our team. The season promises to be very exciting and productive for our entire team.
As with many teams in central Ohio, we have some members of our team now participating in indoor track meets this winter. We hope to continue this trend for many years to come and increase the number of participants in the near future to improve the level of performances for many of our athletes for the outdoor season. In fact, Sophia Nnadi was crowned STATE CHAMPION for 2012 in the girls indoor shot put this season. To prepare for this, we start conditioning now in mid-October for those girl athletes that are not involved with a fall or winter sports program currently at DeSales.
This season, the team will travel to many different parts of the state including Marion, Chillicothe, Newark and Dayton to face some of Ohio’s best Division I schools to prepare ourselves for post-conference competition. Our team will have to battle Bishop Hartley, Bishop Ready, and CSG, all competitive teams for the CCL crown again this season.
