The sports news in Ladies Track & Field at Loughlin is centered on three outstanding underclasswomen. 

Sophomore Adrienne Alexander has already shown why she is the greatest Lady Lion Field event athlete in school history. As a Freshman, last year, Adrienne captured both the Indoor and Outdoor City Championships in the Shotput and garnered an incredible Bronze Medal in the prestigious Penn Relays last April. She has certainly avoided the "Sophomore Jinx" this year as her repeat as Colgate Champ in the shotput in January demonstrated. Last week, Adrienne won both the Brooklyn Diocesan and the Intersectional Shotput championships while throwing a school and CHSAA record 44 feet 5 and one-half inches. 

Two Freshman Lady Lions have arrived at Loughlin this year who also show the promise of re-writing some of Loughlin's and the CHSAA's Track and Field records.  Freshman Jallissa Marcus captured Brooklyn Diocesan Championships in both the 55 Meter dash and the Long Jump, and then won the City Championship with a jump of over 18 feet in the Long Jump. Her teammate Kali Kendall was no less magnificent as Kali, fresh from her Colgate triumph in the High School Girls 1500 Meter run, captured the Gold Medals in the Brooklyn Diocesan 1500 Meter and 1000 Meter races in January and then last week ran in front from start to finish to win the 1000 Meter Intersectional "City Championship!" 

With such outstanding and youthful talent, the sky is the limit for our Lady Lions Track and Field team!
