Dominate District
Track and Field events can
trace their roots back to at
least 700BC. Many modern
events such as the shot put
have been around since the
first modern Olympics held in
1896. In this event the object is
to put the 12 pound ball as
far as possible, and by the look
on Ryan Jones face it can be a
little bit difficult. Today s track
and field events include the
discus throw, long jump, triple
jump, high jump, pole-vault,
and numerous track distances
ranging from 100 meters to
3200 meters (8 laps around
the track).

At this year s district meet the
boys varsity team took the
district championship, scoring
193 total points. The JV boys
finished in second place
among all the JV teams with
140 points. There were 19
personal records set by the
boys and one season best
record set by Montavian
Hunt 10 with an 11.61 time in the
100 meter dash. Chesni
Broussard 9 qualified for the
Area meet as the final leg in
the 4x400 meter girls relay.
She said that this is one of the
races that everybody pays
attention to and that she loves
running the final leg. R Kel
Collins 12 qualified for area in
the triple jump, 800 meter, 400
meter, and the 4x400 meter
races. He loves the adrenaline
rush as he finishes the last leg
of the race. Perhaps the most
exciting event of the day is
watching Luktourius Collins 12
compete in the high jump.
This event is dominated by
athletes over 6 feet tall, but
this 5 6 senior out-jumps them
all at a height of 6 1 . Watching
everyone s jaw drop as he
clears those heights is the
most enjoyable part of
competition for him.
