Congratulations St. Albans Messenger Athlete of the Week Lauryn Johnson!
Junior Lauryn Johnson uncorked a throw in the Javelin of 108 feet, a Personal Best of nearly 22 feet; that throw put her third on the BFA Junior Top 10 List and sixth on the BFA All-Time List and qualified her for the New Balance National Championships at the end of June at the University of Pennsylvania.

Track and Field had a
banner day on April 15th!

The St. Albans Messenger reported "Saturday, April 15, was another banner day for the BFA-St. Albans Track and Field team. The sun and low winds made for a record day. Early in the meet Junior Lauryn Johnson uncorked a throw in the Javelin of 108', which would be a Personal Best of nearly 22'; that throw to put her third on the BFA Junior Top 10 List and sixth on the BFA All-Time List. More importantly, her throw qualified her for the New Balance National Championships at the end of June at the University of Pennsylvania. She led the way with the girls’ team, who set 23 Personal Bests; the boys’ team set 35. Freshman Asher St. Pierre continues to impress with another Freshman Top 10 List, this time in the 110m Hurdles, now the ninth fastest freshman to ever run them at BFA-St. Albans. Joining him on the freshman list was Nolan Howrigan, now sixth in High Jump. We had many Juniors make their Top 10 List; Karli Holland tenth in the 100m and eighth in the 200m. Will Hughes is now tenth in the 200m, third 400m and sixth in the High Jump. The team continues to work hard and improve every day."
