Depth carries Sharks to club All-Catholic crown
by PATRICK J. NAGY Reporter

Sacred Heart hasn't lost a girls' indoor track meet since the league began five years ago and its depth helped the team continue its unblemished record.

The Sharks won only two events at last Saturday's club All-Catholics at Lancaster's Field House but scored 103 points to win the five-team meet. Holy Angels was second with 78 points.

"Our depth pulled it out for us," said Sacred Heart coach Rod Sarkovics, who is also league chairman.

The Sharks placed in every event except shot put.

Brittany Gibbons won the 600 in 1:50.4 and Emily Tutak, Natalie Wasilewski and Natalie Cappellazzo went second (2:02.7), fourth (2:07.7) and sixth (2:12.4), respectively.

Melissa Naab took home top honors in the long jump with a leap of 12-3.5. Gibbons placed fourth with an 11-10.

In the 50, Naab took second (7.2) and Christine Loftus placed fourth (7.5).

In the 750, Patterson came in second (2:29.1), Patterson was fourth (2:38.7) and Erin Wattengel finished sixth (2:51.6).

In the 1200, Patterson took second (4:20.1), Mary Russell was fourth (4:41) and Wattengel came in sixth (4:47.8).

The 4x150 relay of Loftus, Alyse Madison, Lindsay DelGrosso and Naab took second in 1:34. The 4x300 of Madison, Angelica Tan, DelGrosso and Naab finished third in 3:32.

Ginamarie Mule and Gibbons went 2-3 in the triple jump with leaps of 27-8.25 and 27-5.5, respectively.

"To their credit, everybody did what was expected," said Sarkovics. "It worked out really well."

Sarkovics doesn't know if the league will rejoin the Monsignor Martin Association next year. It has been a club league the last two years.
