Girls 6th • Boys 4th
Coach Scott Holland: What more can be said about Amarachukwu Oguchi? She has separated herself as one of the top throwers in the State and the US. Currently ranked sixth in Texas and ninth Nationally in Discus, plus 13th in Texas and 20th Nationally in Shot. She keeps producing huge throws at each meet. This week, she broke her own school record in the shot with a mark of 41’ 2”. We had strong efforts from other members of the girls team with solid performances at a tough meet where we were the sole private school.
On the boys side, the 4X400m relay team remained undefeated this season. It was a great effort by all four members in an exciting back-and-forth race. Our other two relay teams, 4x100m and 4x200m also provided points. The Throws Crew continues to score big points. Again, this week all three scored in Shot Put: Connor Dove, Owen Woodside and Ben Currin. Will Young and Nico Signorelli had great days in the Pole Vault. Our Distance Crew also provided a great day scoring in the 3200m (Zac Winton), 1600m (Will McDermott and Vishnu Swaminathan) and 800m (Andrew Wilkerson & Carson Hanson).
A total of 15 PRs (Personal Records) at this meet. A great way to start Spring Break. We are off this week and then we will have a Dual Meet with Concordia Lutheran on Pate Track on March 26. The Cooper Invitational is set for April 9-10.
