Eden Wankel, co-captain of the Lady Aces track team, broke the school record in the triple jump at yesterday’s Class 2A Mascoutah Sectional. Wankel’s jump of 34’2.25” bested the previous record held by Tyra Buss of 33’4.5” set in 2014.

In addition, Wankel was the only Lady Ace to medal, with a 4th place tie in the high jump at 4’10.75”. She barely missed the state qualifying standard of 5’1” on her last jump.

The Lady Aces 4x100 relay team consisting of Elyse Swanson, Lily Keepes, Ava Harrington and Sarah McCorkle, had a season best time of 52.79 to finish in 7th place, one place from medal honors. Their time was 0.82 of a second off the school record set in 2012.

The Mascoutah Sectional completed the 2023 Lady Aces track season.
