Reineman Sets New HCC Women's High Jump Record

The Hagerstown Hawks Outdoor Track & Field season is about to wrap up at the NJCAA Nationals on May 18-20^th at New Mexico Junior College in Hobbs, NM.

However, leading up to the culmination of the season The Hawks had a few stand outs in their last few meets of the regular season.  Josey Reineman and Gabrielle Cook, both high jumpers, made a clean sweep in their last 3 regular season meets. At the Loyola Invitational they tied for 1^st with a height of 1.60 meters (5'3").  At the Paul Kaiser Classic Reineman took 1^st with a height of 1.71 meters (5' 7.25"), Cook in 3^rd at 1.65 meters (5'5"). The final meet, The Liberty Twilight Qualifier, Cook took 1^st and Reineman 3^rd, both with 1.62 meters (5' 3.75").  Additionally, at the Liberty Twilight Qualifier, two other Hawks took podium spots.  Molly Brashears and Maggie Thompson went 1^st- 2^nd in the 3000 meter Steeplechase with times of 14:02.06 & 14:07.45, respectively.

Team Captain, Josey Reineman, probably has the most to celebrate about her final Outdoor Track season at HCC.  At the Paul Kaiser Classic, Reineman jumped 1.71 meters (5' 7.25"), this was not only her personal best height, but it also set a new HCC Record in the Women's High Jump.  To cap the achievement, Reineman's jump also earned her full scholarship to Huntington University's Track & Field Team in Huntington, Indiana, where she will be attending in the Fall.
