Track Throwers

Sprinting to Conference

By: Marley Lambert

Dupo attended their third invitational meet of the season last Friday marking the halfway point of their season. Not only did they show up to this meet, they also showed out. On the field side, Deegan Prater placed 2nd in Long Jump and 1st in Triple Jump. Our girls thrower Allison Taylor received 3rd in Shot Put and 1st in Discus, boys thrower Cole Hearty placed 3rd overall in Discus. On the track, our runners also managed some high placements in this competitive meet such as Noah Theurer who placed 3rd in the 400m, the boys 4x800m relay team who claimed 2nd, and the girls 4x100m and 4x400m who achieved 3rd. Overall the boys tied for 4th with Alton and the girls claimed 4th place, falling half of a point behind Alton. So far for the season, this has been Dupo’s best meet yet and is just a peek of what is to come.
