The team of Cole Brown, Rachal, Ketchings and Ridley won two relay events for Trinity – the 800m relay (1:37.3) and the 400m relay (47.5).

Trinity’s other relay team, Rob Hefley, Richard Burke, Dunbar Flinn and Preston Sullivan, dominated the competition in the 3200m relay, winning in a time of 9:49.39, nearly a minute ahead of WCCA’s team of Harry Ford, Brent Starnes, Brantley Hall and Greg Bunch (10:34.7).

&uot;We’ve trained hard the last couple of weeks getting ready for district,&uot; said Trinity head track coach David King. &uot;The boys have been splitting time between baseball and track, as have I. I was proud of the way they hung in there.&uot; Huntington edged out ACCS for first place overall in the varsity girls division, 64 points to 60, despite only one first-place individual finish.

However Huntington had five second-place finishes – Stacey Rife in the discus (76’11&uot;), Tessa Taunton in the high jump (4’4&uot;), Jessi Moak in the 3200m run (14:51) and the relay team of Hazlip, Rachel Anders, Taunton and Candi Bennett in the 800m relay (2:04.7) and the 400m relay (58.42) – that helped it get the win.
