Today marked the last home track meet of the season, which is dedicated to the seniors: Ana Clavijo, Syndie Boykins, JaVan Iverson, Sydney Lawrence, Timothy Leathery, Julia Rizk, and Taylor True.
Clavijo has competed in many field events this season and has improved her throwing distance in both shot put and discus.
Boykins has been a strong member of the A-relay team, helping the girls to many wins.
Iverson has frequently won shot put in meets against competitors Worthington Christian, Bexley, and Tree of Life.
Rizk continues to lead the team, winning the majority of her races.
Lawrence has been improving her time in her races, mainly the 400-meter dash and has contributed tremendously to the team’s success.
Leathery continues to improve his 400-meter dash time and has dropped almost a full second since the Bloom Carroll Invitational.
True has helped the team throughout the season, earning points in the 800-meter dash.
The boys finished second with 85 points, and the girls got first with 70 points against competitors Licking Valley, Oakstone Academy, and Whitehall.
The team now moves into post-season with an MSL League Meet next Tuesday, May 12th, at 5 pm at London High School.
