It’s championship season, and the Red wolves are peaking at the right time. Friday night kicked off at Abessinio Stadium with 100m trials where Robyn Bolen, Rana Jackson, Nathan Cho, and Jaden Clarke all ran personal best marks, the Girls’ and Boys’ 4×8 relays fought hard in their respective races, and Siani Winchester edged closer to the 100mH school record, also setting a personal best time. Over at shot put, Nick Siegfried, threw close to his all-time best, finishing 5th overall and scoring points for the boys’ team. Wrapping up the night on the track, Mallory Holloway ran a school record-breaking 3200m race, finishing 2nd overall and earning All-County honors. Ben Williamson followed up with his own school record-breaking race in the boys’ 3200m.
