Allmacher breaks track record
Junior Sam Allmacher broke the school 3200 meter track record by one second with a time of 11 minutes and 28 seconds on April 29, 2014.
“I’ve had thoughts of breaking a track record since I was in 9th grade,” Allmacher said. “It’s always in the back of my head during a meet.”
The record had not been broken since 2008, when alumnus Jen Rock broke the record with a time of 11 minutes and 29 seconds.
“When I started running on Tuesday, I wasn’t really thinking about breaking a record that day,” she said. “Once I started running, I knew I would be able to break a record that day.”
The meet took place at the home track against Romeo. Four girls competed in the race, with Allmacher coming out on top.
“As soon as I crossed the finish line and I heard my time, I was so excited,” Allmacher said. “I knew immediately that I had broken the record.”

"[My favorite part about coaching is] helping the golfers get better and when they get better, they enjoy the game more. When they enjoy the game more, that's when the real magic happens in the game," coach Douglass Hartley said. The team saw an increase in both players and skill this year.](https://ikenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/girls-golf-team-photo-e1728320381683-600x408.jpeg)
