Senior, Key West
Track & Field

“Savannah is one of the most talented runners we’ve had at Key West High School.” – Conchs coach Dave Perkins

Key West’s Savannah Chadic has been making a name for herself on the track this season. The senior, whose blazing speed won her two individual district championships last week, is ranked second in the region in the 400 meter event and seventh in the 200 meter. Chadic’s 400 time of 56.02s should open the door for her to compete at the state level later in May. Chadic’s leadership was integral to the success of her sprint relay team and in bringing home district hardware for the entire team. 

“Savannah leads on the track by example,” said coach Dave Perkins. “We depend on her to get the team ready to go.” 

For her hard work on the track and the great things she is doing for Key West track and field, Savannah Chadic is this week’s Keys Weekly Athlete of the Week.
