TOW - Tiger of the Week - for their multiple event efforts our TOW areMorayo Kassim (100, 200, LJ) and Jordan Turner (100, 200, LJ).
Coaches Pick - Tate Keuler fought hard down the home stretch in the 800m run to post his first ever HS victory, in a well planned tactical race!
Our take away from today is the incentive to train over the spring break to maintain fitness and to post an early season mark to build upon.
