ELSAH – Junior Hannah Meiser from Civic Memorial just wrapped up her basketball season one week ago when she and her team took home fourth place at state. She finished that season having played in all 38 games and scoring 101 points along the way. She should be a regular starter next season. Only one week later though, she begins another journey for the Eagles track and field team. She took to the track in the 6 th Annual Jersey Winter Thaw held at Principia where she ran the 1,600-meter race. It was her first run of the year and she mentioned being a little nervous. “For sure nerves were there. I didn’t expect much," she said. "I only got to practice for a week before I ran this race.” She still took home a 6 th place finish out of 36 competitors with a time of 5:42 for the one mile but feels she can improve upon her time. For her efforts so far in track and field and basketball, Hannah Meiser is one of the Tom Lane State Farm Insurance CM Female Athletes
