Despite the obstacles, the group produced 10 season-best efforts:
Brody Hish- 16' 6" in the long jump
Chase Ragar- 42' 0.5" in the triple jump (3rd place) AND a 55.2 400 m split
Keller West- 34' 11.75" in the shot put
Cohen Ellis- 2:29.4 on his 800 m split
Zacharia Fry- 1:03.63 in the 400 m dash AND 27.72 in the 200 m dash
Kadyn Wilcox- 11.74 in the 100 m dash
Kaleb Jacobs- 54.0 on his 400 m split
And finally, Kadyn Wilcox, Kaleb Jacobs, TJ Gellner, and Brendon Hardimon ran 1:37.00 in the 4x200 m relay.
Congrats guys! The team is back in action this coming Tuesday at our Olympia Co-Ed Relays, with field events starting at 4:00 and running events starting at 5:00. Come out and see them compete!
