The Branson Girl Bulls placed 5^th at Northern California Section Class A Championships on Saturday in Santa Rosa against 43 other small schools. The girls team rallied through 90F scorching heat for a great showing in track and field events. The girls 4x400 team (Alexa Polsky, Zoe Hahn, Elena Trimble, andImogen Brown) ran for 8^th place in the blazing heat.  Less than one hour earlier, the girls 4x800 team (Zoe Hahn, Paige Macy, Katya Crawford, and Imogen Brown) placed 5^th with a last second substitute by Paige Macy due to heat issues for another athlete. Thanks, Paige! 

Ivy Brenner threw her magical shot-put for 4^thplace in the championships, and a personal best of 32ft 5.5in, beating her old record by MORE THAN THREE FEET! WOW!  Tara Curtin once again bounced her way to victory with a 1^st place in the high jump, jumping 5ft 3in for a new personal best, and a 2^nd place in the long jump at 16ft 8in. That’s pretty bouncy! 

Alexa also ran a fantastic 800m, placing a solid 8^th in that contest.  Last, but in no way least, Adeline Johnson coasted to 2^nd place in the 1600, zoomed to 1^st place in the 800m, and also grabbed 1^st place in the 3200m. Both Addie and Tara will proceed to the North Coast Section Meet of Champions on May 19^th and 20^th where Tara will compete in high jump and long jump, and Addie will compete in the 1600m and 3200m.  Go Bulls!
