Recap:  Day I--IHSA State Prelims

Day 1 of the IHSA Girls Track and Field State Finals got off to a strong start with Morganne Jones clearing the opening height of 5'0" on her first attempt.  Jones then cleared 5'2" on her second attempt.  At her third attempt at 5'4", Jones was close to a personal best but knocked the bar off.  5'4" proved to be the height needed in order to make the final day of competition. 

In the sprint events, Alex Dudley made school history in the 100 meter dash by qualifying for Saturday's finals and earning a spot on the podium.  She came back to run the 200 meter dash later in the meet, but was unable to make the final cutoff.
