Leading the way and placing in all four of his events was Silas Cool, as he won gold in the 4x800 relay, won the silver in the 200 meter, won the bronze in the pole vault and was a member of the 4x400 that placed fourth.

Cache Gracey showed the promise that he showed as a freshman had only improved, as he won the 400 meter, ran on the 1st place 4x800, and on the 4th place 4x400 relay. Logan Recoy won a gold in the 4x800 relay and a silver in the 1600 meter run.

Throwers Jake Halstead and Lance Jones both scored in the discus, Halstead taking second and Jones fourth. Halstead also nabbed third in the shot.

Trey Connell placed fourth in both the 800 and 3200 meter. Harper Johnson was the only other placer on the day as he placed fifth with a jump of 5 feet 4 inches in the high jump.

The boys did fail to place in the horizontal jumps, but with freshmen interested in these events and with practice time in the next couple of weeks, the jumps and the hurdles should improve and be scoring events later in the year. Coach Chesley stated that he couldn't be happier with the results of the first meet.
