Track 5-15 - WESCO League championships

The 2009 WESCO North track championships were held at OHHS on Wednesday and Friday, May 13^th and 15^th.

Friday saw finals in all the sprint races, along with a number of other events. When all was said and done, only one Wildcat was crowned league champion.

Junior Shantae Young won the 100m dash in convincing fashion, beating her opponent by over a tenth of a second. It was somewhat of an unusual race in that only 2 of the 8 runners were seniors. There were two sophomores and even a freshman in the race. Shantae’s time of 12.79 was a new personal best for her. She was equally dominant in the triple jump where she leaped 36-2.5, over a foot further than her nearest competitor. Shantae also finished 2^nd in the long jump.

For the boys, the top competitor was Stephen Lewis. He was fighting off some illness and finished 2^nd in the 100m and 3^rd in the 200, but will be moving on to the district meet.

Other top 3 finishers were:

Greg Goebel – triple jump – 3rd

Adrianna Royal – 800m – 2^nd

Allison Duvenez – 300m hurdles – 2^nd

Girls 4x100 relay – 3^rd
