Magdalena’s short on numbers but reaches podium four times

Magdalena doesn’t have big numbers on its track and field teams, but that didn’t stop the Steers from getting four appearances on the medal stands during the Class A Nusenda Track and Field Championships in Albuquerque on Friday and Saturday.

Magdalena’s top finish came from the girls 4×800 meter relay team as Jema Ganadonegro, Jewel Mirabal, Brook Pettis and Jorianne Mirabal recorded a time of 11:49 for fourth place.

Jorianne Mirabal returned to the podium to pick up 6th place in the pole vault after a vault of 6-0.

Joe Zamora had the best boys’ finish, with a javelin throw of 143-00 for fifth. Sophomore hurdler Ky Stephens was sixth in the 110s with a clocking of 17.87.
