Steph Simon Paces Strong CHS Showing at Meet

This past weekend a contingent of members of the Chelsea High girls and boys indoor track teams competed in the first Northeast Invitational Meet at the Reggie Lewis Center. 

“The meet included many events that are not normally held during the indoor season,” said CHS head coach Cesar Hernandez. “This allowed the team to set four school records that did not previously exist.”

On the opening day of the meet on Friday, Stephanie Simon competed in her first triple jump event of the season. Steph finished in second place with a jump of 37’-10.75”.

“This was a strong start for Stephanie, considering she’s dealing with a nagging hamstring issue,” said Hernandez.

Also turning in impressive performances on the first day of competition were Ian Padilla (5:06.75), Ruben Padilla (5:09.93), and Sade Rosales (6:32.35) in the mile.

The boys DMR combo of Alex Estrada (1200 leg), Nate Nadow (400 leg), Oscar Amaya (800 leg), and Jazmany Reyes (1600 leg), would also break the boys’ indoor school record by four seconds with a time of 11:48.06.  

“They were really carried by Jazmany, who had a 4:41 split for his leg, which would be an eight-second PR from his best time last outdoor season,” said Hernandez.

On Saturday, Stephanie Simon competed in the long jump, winning with a mark of 17’-8”. Ana Chang also ran the 300, running a solid 44.43.

On Sunday, Stephanie Simon was joined by brother Emmanuel in establishing CHS marks in the indoor 200 meter event. Steph ran a 26.39, placing fifth overall, and Emmanuel ran a 25.66 to set the boys’ record.

Gloria Rodriguez also ran well, running a 29.90 in the 200.

Hikerth Santizo sets the indoor 400 record at 57.20, and Gabby Rivas did the same for the girls with a clocking of 1:12.04.

Jazzman Reyes ended the meet with a great 800 to break his already-owned record.  He ran a 2:04.22 to beat the record he set a few weeks ago by over three seconds.

“These events will happen again next weekend at the East Coast Invite and the team will look to improve each of these records then,” added Hernandez.
