WHITEHALL - Faith Yost’s roar reverberated across Whitehall’s Zephyr Sports Complex.

And she wasn’t alone.

The celebration was shared with teammates Norah Silfies, Naomi Glassberg and Jakayla Holmes, who helped Northwestern win the 1600-meter relay at the Colonial League Track and Field Championships Wednesday.

“I think it means a lot to everybody,” said Silfies.

“We PR’d by a lot as a team, so it was very impressive,” added Yost.

So was Yost.

The win secured Yost’s fourth gold medal overall at the two-day event.

The event-ending 1600 relay came down to the wire for the Tigers.

Holmes held off a hard-charging Palisades’ surge during the final leg to give her team the win with a time of 4:14.59.

“I could kind of hear everyone in the crowd being like,’Oh, she’s right there,’” said Holmes, who was nearly stride-for-stride with the Pirates’ anchor into the final 50 meters. “So I knew I just had to kick it in.”

Palisades finished second with a time of 4:15.53.

“When she got in the last 100, the three of (us) went over and started screaming,” said Yost, who ran first. “It was nerve-wracking, and I know it was nerve-wracking for her, too.”

Northwestern led throughout and shattered its seed time of 4:25.90.

“We weren’t really expecting that,” said Glassberg. “So to come away with such a huge PR is really exciting.”

“I’m just really proud of all of us,” added Yost.

The junior started the day with her third gold medal of the Colonial League Track and Field Championships, repeating as the 100 hurdle champion.

She won the high jump and 300 hurdles on Tuesday.

“My time today was better than my prelim time yesterday so I am happy with that,” said Yost. “It’s still not quite a PR but I am OK with that considering that these hurdles are pretty cruel.”

She ran a 15.88 in the finals to repeat as champion after running a 16.31 in the prelims Tuesday. She also won titles Tuesday in 300-meter hurdles and high jump.

“It’s really special,” Yost said. “I worked really hard for it. I think the most important part for me was PR’ing, or doing the best that I can. It’s not always about necessarily winning or getting the medals; but there was self-improvement for both the high jump and 300 meter hurdles, so I’m very happy with that.”

Yost won the high jump by clearing 5-5 to tie a familiar school record, which was set by her aunt Kathy Yost in 1992.

“I came in with the mindset of trying my best,” said Yost, who was seeded first at 5-3. “I know it’s a lot with three events, and then I have two more (Wednesday), which is the 100 hurdle finals as well as the 4x4 (relay). So I just wanted to try my best, and I was not necessarily expecting to get 5-5; I was expecting to get 5-3. I was ecstatic at 5-4, and was like, ‘Let’s go 5-5.’”

Yost’s aunt was in attendance for the event.

She went for 5-6 after clearing 5-5 and nearly got it on her first try, but the bar skimmed her calf.

Yost qualified for the 100 hurdle finals with a time of 16.31.

“I like 100-meter hurdles and high jump equally,” said Yost. “The 300-meter hurdles are definitely more of an endurance, distance type event. I definitely plan to work more on endurance throughout the summer and next year. But right now, the 100-meter hurdles and high jump are my favorite.”

Yost has made tremendous progress in both events. She set the school record in the 100 hurdles earlier this year with a time of 15.10, breaking the previous mark of 15.54, set by Alexis Gawelko in 2015.

“At leagues (last year) I actually had shin splints and Achilles tendinitis,” said Yost. “So I think I got 4-7 at leagues and DQ’d out of districts. So it was a rough transition going from that to 100-meter hurdles right after. But I then won 100-meter hurdles and 300-meter hurdles ... so I’m very happy with today.”

She repeated as champion in the 300 hurdles with a time of 47.63 to close out her day. She was seeded with a time of 47.74.

“Definitely still a bit of a high. I actually went back to the tent and I sat for about five minutes before I heard that I had to start getting ready for the 300-meter hurdles,” said Yost. “So I’m still pretty tired, running on Gatorade.”

Yost is primed for a big district meet, and hopefully a trip to states for the first time.

“I’m very excited,” said Yost. “I believe I can definitely keep up with some of the girls in districts. I’m looking at least for high jump to get 5-3 at districts so I can qualify for states, if not place top two.”

The Northwestern boys recorded a runner-up finish in the 3200 relay with a team of Sam Bower, Matt Santana, Cole Chukoskie and Nathan Vincent in 8:20.46.
