Baylee Espinosa from Lewisburg won the event in a time of 5:10.05. Shortly after the mile races, Carolyn came back to run the girls 400 meter dash. She ran a 1:07.25 to place 5th. Gigi Veach from Selinsgrove won the event with a time of 1:02.59. In the boys 800 meter race, freshman Josiah Barner ran a 2:17.55 to place 6th. Wyatt Brady from Danville Area won the event in a time of 2:06.09. Rounding out the day for the Indians was Josiah and Joel competing in the boys 3k race. Josiah ran a 11:15.80 to place 9th while Joel ran 11:41.05 to place 10th. Sam Hennett from Shikellamy won the event with a time of 9:28.28.
“Carolyn, Joel, and Josiah ran great today. They are young and have little experience. Joel dropped a good bit of time in the mile from last week and Josiah ran a very nice first 800 race. I put both of them in the 3k race for extra conditioning and they got some good work in.,” Juniata Distance Coach Jeff Miller said. “I thought Carolyn ran competitively in both of her races. She’s currently focusing on basketball so I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect. She didn’t disappoint. I’m looking forward to seeing what she can do in outdoor track when she is just focusing on running. She’s a big talent that has all the tools to be great in this sport.”
