Track Mid-Season Update
April 28, 2015
The FWCD Track and Field team has enjoyed a successful season despite losing significant practice time and several meets because of poor weather at the beginning of the season and the week-long school closure for the ISAS festival.
On March 21, FWCD hosted the Falcon Invitational, its first home meet in several years. Nineteen schools attended, and Country Day finished among the top in both the Boys and Girls divisions, placing third in the Varsity Boys and second in the Varsity Girls.

On April 10 and 11, the Track team took a road trip down to the Woodlands to compete in the John Cooper Dragon Invitational. Once again, Country Day had a strong showing: the Varsity Girls finished 6th overall and the Varsity Boys won the meet. Sawyer Stratton ’15 also set the new school record in the 1600m with a time of 4:28:28, winning the mile in dramatic fashion.
