Husky Track Quick Hits In Print

The Everett Herald today named freshman heptathlete its College Athlete of the Week. Schireman, an Everett native and graduate of Archbishop Muphy High School, completed her first college heptathlon last weekend at the Mt. SAC Relays. Her total of 4,458 points was the ninth-best mark in school history.

The Herald asks Schireman about her final year of high school, when she was competing in four different events at the state meet, thus making the heptathlon a natural fit for her in college. They also discuss how the heptathlon might be spiced up ...

If you were to make up a heptathlon of non-athletic events you enjoy away from track, what would some of the events be?

Oh, man. I would add bocce ball, just because I think that's really fun. It would be interesting, for sure. A couple of us were talking how it would be hilarious to add juggling or something with a dance to it, like in gymnastics. That would be interesting.

Also, The Daily ran a nice preview of the Brutus Hamilton Invitational today, focusing on senior Falesha Ankton getting a chance to compete close to her family's home in Benicia, California. The story was reproduced on GoHuskies but here is the link to the story in The Daily: Ankton excited to run in front of family, friends
