By Jamal Currica  

The Hudson girls track team competed at the Wolverine Invitational at Dike-New  Hartford on April 16, finishing sixth out of 16 teams with 53 points.  

The Pirates recorded 10 personal records, three season-best performances and eight  top-eight finishes, continuing to show steady improvement as the season progresses.  Ella Steele led the way with a first-place finish in the 400-meter hurdles, setting a  personal-record time of 1:05.26.  

Mollie Hansen had a strong night as well, placing first in the 1,500 meters with a  personal-record time of 4:56.88 and second in the 3,000 meters with a season-best 10:57.55.  Reese Hansen added a third-place finish in the 800 meters (2:35.32, SB).  Hudson’s relay teams continued to perform well. The 4x400 relay team of Elle  Gunnarson, Hannah Chardoulis, Steele and Hansen placed third with a personal-record time of  4:19.66, while the distance medley relay team of Jaylea Trevey, Maggie Haskovec, Chardoulis  and Reese Hansen also placed third (4:42.74, PR).  

Hannah Chardoulis added a third-place finish in the high jump, setting a personal  record of 4-10.  

Additional top-eight finishes included Teagan Honermann, who placed eighth in the 400  meters (1:07.69, SB).  

Several Pirates also recorded personal bests, including Jordyn Rhoades in the 1,500  meters (5:42.95), Megan Steele in the 800 meters (2:55.41), and Josie Messmore in the 100- meter hurdles (20.05). Brooke Stine added a personal record in the junior varsity discus with a  throw of 75-10.  

The 4x200 relay team of Trevey, Gunnarson, Rhoades and Reagan Lewis also set a  personal record, finishing 10th (1:58.56).  

“Our team does a great job supporting each other,” the coach said. “I enjoyed seeing  the girls smile and hug each other after crossing the finish line.”  

Hudson will compete next at home on April 20 and at South Hardin on April 24.
