Three Walled Lake Northern school records fall this weekend at Farmington Invite

Three Walled Lake Northern seniors etched their name in the track and field record books on Saturday at the Farmington Invitational; Matthew Gurwin, Ava Kurczewski, and Ty Parker.

The first to fall was in the discus. Matthew Gurwin set the new program mark with a throw of 167’09”. He finished third in the event behind two other Walled Lake throwers; Walled Lake Central’s Brycen Anderson (188’05”) and Nathan Cody (170’06”).

Kurczewski set a new school record in the 1600 meter (4:57.92) last Friday and followed that up with another lighting fast race this past weekend. She ran a blazing 10:49.63 to set a new record in the 3200 meter, which was 27 seconds faster than the previous program mark. Along with the 3200 meter and 1600 meter, Kurczewski currently holds two other records as part of the 4x400 meter relay (4:01.56) and 4x800 meter relay (9:18.27) teams.

Parker also shined in the 3200 meter on Saturday with a record breaking performance of 9:19.78. He holds the program’s 800 meter record (1:54.85) as well, which he set last May at the Oakland County Championships.
