In high jump, Cole S. placed third and cleared 6’ while Caden I. achieved fifth with 5’10”, tallying a total of seven points for the team.

In the running events, Henry S., Giuseppe P., Chris H., and Dane C. competed in the 4x1600m and placed second with 19:26.46, shaving off nine seconds from last week’s time at Big Walnut. Henry, Chris, and Dane then joined Timmy F. in the final event of the night—4x800m—and claimed another silver, running 8:47.35. Continuing the second-place streak, Gabe D-R., Patrick F., Chris, and Nick J. tallied another in the 4x400m with 3:40.61.
