Last weekend, the MUS varsity track team participated in the Germantown Invitational. The Owls went into the meet with plenty of momentum, having already won two meets in April.
Both track and field participants had strong performances at the meet.
In the discus, junior Kimani Shotwell finished first with a throw of over 140 feet, and fellow junior Ian Thomas was only five feet behind him, taking second.
Andrew Gordon and Allie Folk finished in third and fourth, respectively, in the shot put.
Other third-place field finishes were achieved by Devin Owens in the triple jump and Sam Goldstein in the pole vault.
The MUS runners had a memorable day at Germantown as two school records were broken.
The first came when junior Lee Moore ran the 300m hurdles in 38.72 seconds, breaking a long-standing Owls’ record.
Then, the 4x400m relay team broke that school record by running the full four laps in 3:22.26. The team was made up of all juniors, including Clement Oigbokie, Miles Bryant, Ken Haltom, and Moore.
At the end of the day, the Owls walked away with second place overall in the invitational.
This weekend the Owls will be in Clarksville for the Kenwood Invitational.
