This was the 15th year for the Unionville Track & Field Invitational, held April 28 at UHS, but it marked the very first Christine Smith 3200m Run. Christine, nicknamed "Mighty Mite" for her 5-foot stature, ran cross-country and track for UHS from 2004 to 2008, won statewide honors her freshman, junior and senior years, and went on to earn a degree in chemical engineering at Cornell University.
"Christine was raising puppies, bodysurfing and working at Boeing in South Carolina when she was tragically killed in a car accident this winter. She was and will always be remembered as one of the great athletes of Unionville's running history," according to the event's program.
Winners of the inaugural event on Saturday were Brooke Hutton of Coatesville and Joshua Lewin of West Chester East.
