Starting the spring break off with rainy runs, Galileo outdoor track and field team soared off to run in the rainy weather at Lynchburg College on Thursday, April, 13th 2023. 

The Falcons did successful things in all their events despite the rainy weather. Senior Jayln Jones ran both the 4x8 and the 4x4. Jones stated, “ My favorite part about the race was running with my relay team.” 

Junior Carol-Anne Garrett had a big day at Lynchburg College, Garrett ran the Mile, 800, and 4x4. Garrett had personal best in both the mile and 4x4. Her mile time is now 5:24, and her 400 time is now 1:04.
