Along with the state champion 4x400 team, the boys team also won 2nd in the 4x200 relay, picking up a valuable 18 points in the process. Along with fantastic showings from our relay teams, we had some great individual performances as well. Senior, Ian Gully, won the high jump competition. Juniors, Luke and Patrick Teson, won 1st & 2nd respectively in the 400m dash. Luke Teson also won 3rd in the 300m hurdles. There were many more contributors to the team victory with the Lions advancing multiple athletes and events to state after their runner-up finish at the Regional meet the week before. Every point counted in this close race!
