-The boys 4x100 also ran the fastest time of the season so far with a 50.92 and beat Lipscomb by .03 seconds in a thrilling race.
-Dwayne produced 2 top-5 times for the season in the 100 (14.01) and 200 (29.02), in addition to a second place finish in HJ (5'0").
-As a whole, the 400/800 relays and individuals crushed it! USN boys and girls took the top 3 spots in both 800's, won both 4x400's and 4x800's, and had 5 PR's combined in the 400.
-The polevault boys had a big day with Oliver (7'6"), Wesley (6'6"), and Drake (6'6") all meeting or exceeding PR's.
-Eleanor returned from a week of rock climbing to win the 800 and play a part in the winning 4x800 and 4x400 relays.
Tigers of the Week:
Girls: Latham Hall
-Latham ran a 70.63 400 for a PR and the second fastest time on the team all year. She also had the fastest splits on the winning 4x800 (2:56) and 4x400 (73) teams, in addition to a 3rd place finish in HJ (4'0"). Her cross country endurance and natural speed are a great combination for the 400 and 800!
Boys: Joshua Scretchen
-Joshua's first-ever 400 was stunning! He ran the fastest time of the year so far (56.85) and helped his teammate Jonathan reach a big PR. He also finished 3rd in the HJ (4'8"), ran on the winning 4x400, and anchored the winning 4x100 with a big comeback on the last leg. His competitive spirit makes him a threat to win the race every time he toes the line.
