Redondo’s girls relay teams turned in impressive performances at the 52nd annual Arcadia Invitational last weekend but the highlight came when the Sea Hawk’s 4×200 relay team set a new school record.
The Lady Sea Hawks had six top-10 performances but it was the 4×200 team of Julia Ausland, Amber Autrey, Eve Divinity and Mahkaia Lee who captured the title with a 1 hour, 41.28 minute performance.
“It was an exciting race from finish to end, I’m glad I got to be a part of it,” stated Lee, a late substitute for Amari Turner, who placed 6th in the pole vault with a personal best of 12-7.
