At the Montgomery Invitational Indoor Track and Field Meet held on Saturday at the Prince Georges Sports and Learning Complex, Blair's runners held their own in a variety of events but were not able to win any races.
Freshman Halsey Sinclair was the only Blazer to crack a top three in any event. In the 3,200 meter race, she placed second behind Hayfield Secondary's Morgan Phelan and ahead of Jennifer Chichester of Archbishop Carroll. Sinclair' s time in the 3,200 meter race was 11:50.37.
