Our athletes did well on the first day of the state meet. Connor lead us out early in the morning with a 3rd place in the 1600m. Alyssa placed 8th overall in the 100m hurdle prelims, and Chase took 2nd overall in the 100m dash prelims, and 1st overall in the 200m dash prelims.

Ben, Jeff and Tanner all placed well in their events including the 400m dash prelims and the 1600m sprint medley. But unfortunetly, and certainly unexpectedly the Boys Medley team was Disqualified. They would have placed 7th overall, and would have advanced to the finals on Saturday.  Our girls 1600m medley team place 6th overall with a time of 4:20 which puts them in the finals on Saturday with hopes of placing in the top 3 or 4.

Nahz ran a great 400m and placed 8th overall, which qualifies her for the finals on Saturday. Jessi was so close, missing the qualifying places by only a few tenths of a second in the 400m.

Liz and CJ both jumped and threw their events well. And finsihing off the day the boys 4×400m relay team dominated their heat. Chase led it out followed by Jeff, Tanner and Ben who brought them in strong. They’ll go into the finals on saturday with high hopes of placing well, if not possibly taking state.

Hope you can all come on saturday to the finals where we look forward to Connor’s 3200m race along with his and Ben Bradshaw’s 800m. Everyone of our athletes ran their hardest on a very hot day! Good job to all!
