The ONW Track and Field team had another fantastic performance last Friday at the Shawnee Mission North Relays. The girls team tied for first out of over 30 teams while the boys placed fourth.
Sam Thomas broke the 200 meter school record with a time of 22.06.
"It was awesome. The feeling when coach told me when I broke the record was just pure joy," Thomas said.
Other notable performances include Cameron Gueldner in the mile running at 5:15.10 and two mile running at 11:16.72, Deanna Dougherty and Audrey fisher taking first and second in the triple jump, Brendan Watkins taking first in the triple jump with a jump of 43-09.00, and Delaney Schaffer in 100 and 200 with the times of 12.52 and 25.95.
Schaffer has had an improbable season this year at track, she is only a freshman and is already regarded as one of the fastest girl sprinters in state."It's crazy to think of it that way. I just go out there and compete at the best I can do, I love track," Shaffer said
The track season is winding down with only one meet left before Regionals and State. This week's meet is at Lawrence High on Friday, while Regionals is at ODAC next friday and State is May 29-30.
