Local Dayton High senior to represent USA in international track and field meet in Australia
Molly McGrew has been invited to represent the USA in the Coast 2 Coast International Athletics Track and Field meet, held in Queensland, Australia on July 15-16 2023 at the Gold Coast Performance Centre.
Molly has lived in Dayton, Nev., her whole life and for the past 4 years has attended Dayton High School. During her years at Dayton High she has participated in basketball, soccer and track.
Last year at the NIAA 3A Nevada State Track and Field Championships, Molly placed 3rd for the 400 meter dash and her 4x200 meter relay team placed 6th. Track and field has always been a passion of hers since she started in seventh grade and has always enjoyed competing to represent herself, her family, her school, and her town.
This summer, talented athletes from all over the United States will travel together to compete against high school athletes from both Australia and New Zealand in an IAAF U20 track meet. Her family is fundraising to send her and ideally her mother as well for support.
Here is a link to her GoFundMe and her Facebook page to help spread the word about this once in a lifetime opportunity. Any and all support and donations are greatly appreciated!
