During this time every boy on the team has recorded a personal best in 1 or more of their events. With their goal of running their fastest times at our last meet of the season, the Corner Conference Meet, the boys are working hard to ensure that happens. During the FM Meet we had 1^st place finishes from Josh Martin in the 1600 (who edged out teammate Kywin Tibben at the finish line for a great Stanton race), Josh Martin in the 200 hurdles and the High Jump, 4x400 Relay team of Kaiden Foster, Kywin Tibben, Damian Meek, and Josh Martin, and lastly the 800 Sprint Medley Relay of Brody Holmes, DJ Most, Kaiden Foster, and Jonan Wookey.

Finishing up a full 2 weeks we ran in a stacked field at Corning last Friday. Going up against some stiff competition our boys responded well and competed with toughness. Top 3 finishes included Kywin Tibben with 1^st place in the 1600, Josh Martin got 3^rd in the 100 Hurdles, the 4x800 team of Brandon Huddle, Axel King, Kywin Tibben, and Josh Martin finished in 3^rd, the 4x400 team of Kaiden Foster, Brandon Huddle, Jonan Wookey, and Damian Meek finished 3^rd, the 800 Sprint Medley team of Jonan Wookey, Kaiden Foster, Damian Meek, and Josh Martin finished 3^rd and the 1600 Distance Medley team of Jonan Wookey, Kaiden Foster, Damian Meek, and Brandon Huddle finished in 2^nd.
