Roosevelt Track and Field Summary

The campaign of the Roosevelt Track and Field team during the 2016 spring season came out with several season best performances from the team.

On the men's side, two athletes represented the Lakers, Troy Harness and Dan Lim. Harness is a distance specialist, while Lim is a sprint and hurdle specialist. While the two athletes were on their own for the season, they manage to make points in the team scoring as a team in 4 out of the 5 indoor invitationals. Harness competed in both the indoor and outdoor seasons, while Dan only competed during indoor. During indoor, Harness ran the 800M, 1500M (Mile), 3K and 5K races, and Lim ran hurdles and 200M. Harness performances resulted him with great times like the 5:01 mile he ran at Olivet Nazarene in a very dense field of competitors. Lim ran the 55M High Hurdles at the UW-Parkside Classic invitational to get him to the finals after running 8.69 seconds in the prelims, making the Top 8 finalists.

After the conclusion of the 2016 campaign, Harness and Lim will be running their last year at Roosevelt. What's in store for these athletes is several new freshman coming in to join them during the cross country and track seasons to allow opportunities during invitationals in the team scores. Both Harness and Lim both aim to be all-conference in their events, and to join Aaron King who is part of the all-conference team at Roosevelt in the past.

On the women's side, the highlight of the season would be at the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference in Joliet, IL. Two relays made the Top eight standings, the 3200M relay and the 1600M relay teams. The 3200M Relay team with Sarah Poulos, Jessica Fuller, Alena Pacheco, and Jacqueline Fuller. They ran a time of 10:35.50 for a sixth place finish. The 1600M team of Poulos, Jacqueline Fuller, and Wuraola Sosina ran a record breaking time of 4:13.57 with a sixth place finish. Gina Narcisi has been running the half-marathon campaign while running a 5K here and there.

After the conclusion of the women's 2016 campaign, Pacheco will be running her last year at Roosevelt. Majority of the team will be returning and new faces will be joining. Pacheco goal is to qualify at the National level in Cross Country, and the team also aims to qualify as a team. During Track seasons, more relays teams will be played out to allow more run time for the team, and to beat more teams at the CCAC conference in both indoor and outdoor.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
