The Sky's the Limit for Emily McHenry

Clinton, Illinois -- April 30, 2001, Emily McHenry has been practicing her
vertical jump and it finally paid offin Clinton Illinois at yesterday's meet!
She jumped 4'6" in the high jump giving her a personal best and placing her
first in the 7th grade girls division.  Jacki Alexander took seven seconds
off her 800M time from last meet and is inching her way to a state qualifying
time. She also placed first in the 800M at the Clinton meet with a time of
2:45. Hailee Elmore was impressive as always taking first in both the mile
and the 400M. Where is that camera crew when you need them?

The 7th grade girls finished second at the four way in Clinton yesterday
against a very tough St. Matthew's squad.  Saint Agnes/B.S.S. went home with
four 4ths, two 2nds, 6 thirds and one 5th place.

Karen Trott beat her personal best on the 100M hurdles taking second with a
time of :18.43 while Jacki Alexander placed third in the same event with a
time of :18.44. Katie Jasmon had a mile time of 6:18 giving her a second
place win for the 7th grade girls mile.

All three St. Agnes/B.S.S. relay teams (4x100M, 4x200M, 4x400M) placed third
posting times of 1:00, 2:53, and 5:32 respectively. Emily McHenry, Allie

today, with a time of :27.58 in the 200M for fifth. Brandon Curry placed
fifth in the discus with a throw of 23'5". Patrick Boyer kept a steady pace
