Track & Field
Our 'Distance Tradition' Continues!
The St. Michael Track & Field program is alive and well! Our Gents team is once again formidable in the 800 meters & up this spring – while the Ladies team is our largest ever, and is rapidly maturing into our best ever! Stay tuned for another big finish to our season as we enter the home stretch!
Last season, our Boys 4×800 relay took fifth place at the D-4 State Finals, ascending the podium for the third straight year! Our Ladies team made the State podium (and scoreboard) for the first time ever, as sophomore Jane Manthei placed fourth in the 2-mile!

St. Michael Boys Finish 8th at 2022 T&F State Finals!
The St. Michael Track & Field program had another excellent season in 2022!
At the State Finals, our Boys team finished eighth, thanks to an extraordinary 4-podium performance from senior Sam Paga! The day began with the 4×800 relay (Mac Moore, Zach Maendel, Russell Vandermus, Sam Paga) placing fourth and was followed by fourth, second, and fifth place finishes for Paga in the 1600, 800, and 3200 meter runs, respectively. Maendel and Moore also qualified in individual events and our Ladies team made its State Finals debut by qualifying its 4×800 relay (Emma O’Neil, Sydney Feagan, Jane Manthei, Anna Zielinski) as Regional Champs!
