What an amazing night at Sectionals! Jayne not only qualified for two events at State, but she also has two new school records at Germantown High School!
Germantown’s Jayne Bertieri & Toney Lock of Hamilton compete in the girls 100.
Bertieri finished second, two positions ahead of Lock.

Jayne took 2nd in the 100m dash, with a time of 12.34 seconds. She now holds the school record, breaking the previous record of 12.43. When Jayne came off of the track, Coach Siegert hugged her. Jayne told me later that he has only hugged one other person in all of his years of coaching. Jayne is now ranked 9th in the state!
The 4x100m relay was quite intense. (As I was taping, I didn't move the camera at the end because I was so excited. Jayne overtook the Grafton runner in the orange at the finish line.) With Jayne anchoring, the relay was in 7th place when she received the baton. She really turned it on and brought the team to 3rd place, qualifing the relay for State. The relay broke the school record they set earlier this season, with a time of 50.30 seconds. The top four 4x100 relays in the state were in our Sectionals, so this was quite the show. The Gtown relay is now ranked 7th in the state.
The 4x400m relay team came in 5th, so the girls are not moving on in this event - but that is okay.
Eight Germantown girls have qualified for State. In addition to Jayne's 100m dash and 4x100m relay, we have girls in the discus, shot put, 300m hurdles, and the 800m run. Germantown took 5th place out of the 16 team Sectional.
We will be heading to UW-LaCrosse on Thursday, May 31st. Prelims are on Friday, June 1st, and Finals are on Saturday. The State Track Meet will be streamed live at: http://www.wiaa.tv/. Running events for Division 1 begin at 9:30 a.m. Friday, with Finals on Saturday starting at 10:30 a.m.
