“I thought they had a great performance,” head coach Dana Smolen said. “They worked really hard and set a lot of personal bests. I didn’t care about whether we came in first or last. It was more about giving their best, and they gave their best.”
Smolen and the Tigers turn to NYSAIS at The Armory on February 27 at 5:30 PM. Dalton boasts 18 girls qualifiers and 15 boys qualifiers.
“It has been a little tough with some snow, but we’ve still been working hard,” Smolen said. “We’ve found ways around everything with our hurdles in the turf and using the equipment we have to make sure we’re prepared. I think we’re definitely going to have a lot of personal records, and I’m hoping we take a lot of people to federations.”
The Federation Championship is March 6-7 at Ocean Breeze. Qualifiers will be NYSAIS top two finishers from individual events along with all NYSAIS championship relay teams. Events allow additional spots if participants meet a predetermined qualifying mark.
