Now you know

The Falcon women's 4x400-meter relay team finished fourth in the country last
weekend at the NCAA Championships with a final time of 3:46.93, a new school record.
The Falcons time is the fastest ever run by any other WIAC track and field team.

Video of the races can be found on YouTube at the links listed below.

Team members were Samantha Nyre, Alyssa Rasmussen, Kali Meurer, and Natasha Arnold. Freshman Sophie Lasko contributed greatly to this effort as Lasko ran in the preliminaries to help qualify the team to the finals. The NCAA doesn't recognize Lasko for All-American honors, however, her contributions greatly contributed to the accolades of the team in the finals. Coaches Steve Stocker and Peter Miller accompanied the team.
