Perrin Selected for Prestigious FSU High School Relays in Tallahassee
On March 27-28, 2026, varsity girls track and field athlete Jacquelyn Perrin traveled to the Mike Long Track at Florida State University in Tallahassee to take part in the FSU High School Relays. This track event is an exclusive "qualifier-only" event, requiring athletes to meet rigorous entry standards just to step onto the track.
Perrin began the competition on Friday with the 800m run. Competing against a deep field of the state’s fastest mid-distance runners, Perrin posted a blistering 2:17.17 to finish in 20th place. The performance earned her a new personal record and lowered her own previously held school record for the event. On Saturday, Perrin returned to the track to compete in the 1600m. She crossed the line in 5:09.26 to finish 24th, officially taking down the school record held by former Pirate Grace Thomas since 2009.
Perrin's new times on the track have vaulted her into the #4 position for girls in the state of Florida for Class 1A. "To see a record like Grace Thomas's finally surpassed after 15 years is a testament to the level Jacquelyn is reaching," said the Saint Edward's coaching staff. "Coming home from Tallahassee with two records and a top-4 state ranking is a massive statement as we head into the postseason."
