Spring Season 

The 2015 season saw the Lightning continue its success with outstanding performances in both individual and relay events throughout the season.

In the annual WCC Championship, our Girls team posted a strong second place finish, headlined by wins in the 4X100 Meter Relay, with the team of Jessica Glowacki, Aaliyah Brock, Emilly Santos, & Natalee Seipio and the 4X400 Meter Relay with the team of Glowacki, Brock, Precious McCrea, & Seipio.

Our boys team also finished second overall in the WCC championship.  The team of Sylvanus Thompson, Saveon James, Kyle Morrissey, & Malachias Lorick won the 4 X 100 Meter Relay and set a meet record, while the team of Thompson, Ayinde Johnson, Morrissey, and Lorick won the 4 X 400 Meter Relay.  Saveon James turned in an outstanding individual performance, winning the 100 Meter, 200 Meter, and 400 Meter Dashes, breaking the meet record in the 200 Meter Dash.

At the CT Middle School State Championships, James also won the 100 Meter Dash, giving the team its 3rd consecutive individual state champion (2014: Leah Sarkisian - 400M Dash, 2013: Terrell Cunningham - 800M Dash).  In the 4X100M Relay, the boys team of Thompson, James, Morrissey, & Lorick and the girls team of Glowacki, Jaylyn Carter, Santos, & Seipio each posted the fastest time in the state in their races.

The 2015 DAYO Lightning Spring Track & Field Team

Summer Season

The summer season saw our team show well, while competing in Connecticut and Massachusetts.

In AAU competition, two members of our team, Cole Brown, and Ethan Rochester qualified for the 2015 AAU Junior Olympics in Hampton Roads, Virginia. Cole traveled to Virginia to compete in the 100 Meter and 200 Meter dashes.

For the final team meet of the summer, we traveled to Massachusetts for the Needham Youth Classic, one of the largest open youth track meets in the northeast.  The team showed well in a number of events, highlighted by wins from Natalee Seipio in the 400M dash, and Schyler Parris in the 400M dash and the 800M run.

We look forward to another great season in 2016!
