FORT WASHINGTON – If they are not busy at practice, members of Germantown Academy’s winter track team are usually out on the road competing at meets in the area. On Jan. 25, the throwers on the team were able to compete at a venue in which they are extremely comfortable – the Field House on Germantown Academy’s campus.
The field this year was comprised of 59 throwers from 11 different schools. The Patriots were represented by Melinda Amorosi '23, Layla Gentile '25, Lilly Houston '25, Tati King '24, Caitlin Lozano '24, Kate Stone '23, and Brynn Sweeney '26 on the girls’ side. Sebastian Cortes ’24, Gavin Fountain '24, Jonah Hunt '24, Zach Kniese '25, CJ Mersky '24, Mario Toscano '24, and Zach Zighelboim '26 competed for the boys.
Each division had two flights, with the top throwers from each flight making it into the final round.
Gentile, who went into the competition seeded fourth, recorded a 33' 8" throw to set a new personal best and secure first place. For the boys, Fountain threw 49' 11" to set a PR and take home third place.
