With our season just starting, Paulina Gal has performed excellent in our indoor meets, scoring the most points in all of our meets.  She has thrown numbers in the indoor season for shot put that ranked her 9th in the state of Illinois, and qualified her for the Illinois Top Times meet.  At this meet, which was held at Illinois Wesleyan University, she threw 40' 3", which placed her 7th overall in the state of Illinois 3A shot putters.  Paulina was our first girl at Reavis ever to compete at this prestigious meet, which is equivalent to an Indoor State meet.  Outdoor season started over break, in which she competed hard at the Eisenhower Quad, finishing first in the shot put, discus, 800m, and the 300m hurdles.  At the Stagg Invite this past Saturday, Paulina finished 1st in the shot put (breaking the meet record with a throw of 41' 4.5"), 1st in the discus (breaking the meet record with a toss of 119' 5.5"), 2nd in the 800m, and 3rd in the 300m hurdles with a time of :48.17.  This time breaks the old time of :48.3 for this event.  Paulina Gal now has the fastest time ever for Reaivs in the 300 m hurdles race.
