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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
