2018 Bishop Gorman Girls Track Capsule

BISHOP GORMAN

Head coach: Scott Cooley, eighth season

Returning letter winners: Eighteen

Top athletes: Gwenavere Bobowicz (Jr.), Jill McPherson (Jr.), Olivia Smith (Jr.), Lindsey Hightower (Sr.), Jayden Krmpotich (So.), Emilia Puskas (Fr.)

Outlook: Bobwicz finished third in the triple jump in last year’s state meet and was joined at state by McPherson (discus) and Hightower (pole vault).

Smith was a region finalist in both the high jump and triple jump.

Krmpotich gives the Gaels a weapon in the distance events, as does Puskas, who finished eighth in the state cross country meet in the fall.

“We have a lot of experienced returners in the program,” Cooley said. “We’re looking forward to a successful year.”
