Liji H. ’27 captured first place in the girls high jump, clearing a personal-record of 5’4” to win the invitational. Her jump was a provisional qualifier for New Balance Indoor Track Nationals and the New York State Track and Field Championship Meet, and she is currently the number one ranked high jumper in NYS Section II. With this performance, Liji is now tied for third all-time in Emma Willard history, trailing only collegiate All-Americans Sharde Johnson ’18 (Colby College) and Keishorea Armstrong ’13 (Binghamton University).

Liji also added another major highlight in the long jump, recording a personal best of 15’11”, which earned her a NYS Section II qualifying mark.

On the track, Sky P. ’29 delivered a standout distance double. She ran a 5:55.07 in the 1 mile, the third fastest time in Emma Willard history, and placed ninth in the 2 mile with 13:20.12, now the second fastest mark on the school’s all-time list.

Vivian T. ’28 recorded the third-best 800-meter time in Emma Willard history, running 2:41.40 against a strong invitational field.

Sprint and hurdle events also saw strong performances. Hazel L. ’27 ran a personal-record 10.71 in the 55-meter hurdles, while both Hazel and Simi A-H. ’26 earned places on the Emma Willard all-time top ten list in the 200 meters, posting times of 30.64 (10th) and 30.11 (9th), respectively.

In the field events, Zoe A-H. ’26 recorded a season best throw of 25’6.5” in the shot put, continuing her consistent progress this season.
The meet showcased Emma Willard’s depth across both track and field as the team competed against elite programs from across the Northeast.
