Season Recap: MS Track & Field
Some things never change. Another year, another pair of Tri-State Championships for TFS MS Track and Field. The boys and girls both saved their best for last, claiming their 11th title each in the last 12 years under coach Scott Neal.
The teams competed in a number of Tri-State meets to prepare for the final competition on April 23 at Rabun Gap. Several athletes impressed throughout the season, including Bryson Perdue, who was consistently putting up podium finishes in discus and shot put. Carsyn Griffis was doing the same in those events for the girls, and boys 4x800 and 4x100 relays, and girls 4x200 relay group continued to be one of the best.
Zeek Pruitt, Sarah Wilkinson, Isla Wagner, Frankie Pribyl, Charlie Harris, Wyatt Fountain, Ethan Phasavang, Ca'Rin Swinton, Lupita Carillo, Brody Irvin, Lizita Miller, Cody Loonubon, Megan Prince, and several others were standouts throughout the season in various meets.
In the season finale at Rabun Gap, Harris (discus), Perdue (shot put), Griffis (discus), Prince (triple jump), Fountain (100), and the 4x800 and 4x200 boys relays all took the top spot to secure the Tri-State Championships for both teams.
With only four girls on the roster being eighth-graders, the team will return a great deal of talent next season. The boys will lose a bit more with five athletes moving on, but also have several young talented individuals coming back to make another run at a Tri-State Championship repeat.
