CHS GIRLS TRACK WINS CAC CROWN

With much happiness and joy last Wednesday, the undefeated Chelsea High girls indoor track & field team concluded its indoor season by winning the championship at the Commonwealth Athletic Conference all-league meet.

The Lady Red Devils started off strong, with Amanda Dias taking first place in the two-mile run to score 10 points for Chelsea right off the bat.

Amanda’s championship performance was followed up by Stephanie Simon taking first place in the hurdles, Martine Simon taking first place in the dash, Yarid Deras first place in the mile, Stefanie Rodrigues first place in the 1000, and the 4×400 relay team — made up of Stephanie, Yarid, Jocelyn Poste, and Martine — placing first.

Also adding points to the CHS cause were Karina Avalos, Sandra Tun, Isha Osman, Ana Chang, Awa Bajinka, Vera Martins, Jocelyn Poste, Danali Mejia, Keila De La Cruz, Masireh Ceesay, and Adamaris Perez.

The final tally showed the Lady Red Devils amassing 130 points — handily outdistancing all of their competition — and departing from the field house and running to their bus chanting, “C-A-C champs!”

“This was an amazing way to conclude our season,” said CHS head coach Mark Martineau.
