Girls Indoor Conference

The St. Charles East fifth-place team showing was inconceivable without the all-around day Britney Williams fashioned. The Saints’ junior was the class of the field at 400 meters, becoming the only athlete to break the minute barrier with her 59.0 effort. St. Charles East received over one-third of its 47 team points in the event after senior Kelsey Gentry placed third. Williams was also fourth in the cutthroat fields at 55 and 200 meters.
“I was really happy with (the day overall),” Williams said. “My goal was to work on my finish. I still have some work to do (before outdoor season starts).”
St. Charles East also received top-notch efforts with third-place finishes from Laney Decrow, Sarah Hill and Mallory Abel in the high jump, 3,200 and 1,600 runs.
