A weekend to proud of for sure...
Evan Combs tied for 9th place in the State Pole Vault competition yesterday, just missing podium by one spot. Currently Evan is tied for the best Freshman pole vaulter in the state and tied for the 5th best Freshman in the country. Yesterday was fuel for the fire... got a taste of it, and he'll be back for sure!
Macie Miller was one of only two D3 runners today to make podium for both the 1600 and 3200 meter runs. Setting new school records of 5:01.51 in the 1600 and 11:08.13 in the 3200, Macie continues to shine as one of the top distance runners in the state!
So proud of our entire Track & Field team on another great season! Looking forward to several more trips to state for Macie and Evan in the future.
