It was a fun day down in Benton for our Webber-Wayne Track and field programs as both the girls and boys had several strong showings in a big 2A meet.
The PRs started from several of our freshman in the field events with Jace Barnard throwing 28'9" in the shot, Ellie Talbert and Kadi Bain both jumping PR jumps in the long jump with Talbert getting 5th with a 14'7" PR jump, and Ava Minor hitting a PR of 4'8" in the high jump to place 4th!
The sprint crews kept the PRs coming with the boys 4x100 crew of James Walker, Grayson Fairchild, Damian Fleener and Nikkos Ulm placing 4th.
Our distance crew finished off the day with some great races, starting with Alexis Johnson in the 800 getting a PR of 2:45! Brennan Tate and Colter Stone followed up her PR with their own PR times of 2:20 and 2:22!
The open 400 for the boys produced our best finish of the day with 3 boys landing in the top 8! Damian Fleener led the way with a time of 56.07(PR) for 3rd overall, then Jaxon Dalby with a time of 56.53(PR) for 6th overall, and finally Nathaniel Marlow landing 8th with a time of 56.62(PR)!
The race of the day came from freshman Connor Withrow, who PR'd in the Mile with a time of 5:48! He had previously had a best time of 6:23 that he ran last week! This is Connors first time breaking 6:00 minutes and he did it with plenty of time to spare!
Overall it was a great day for a great group of kids!
