The 2014 Bob Jones Invitational was the Track Team’s pentultimate regular season meet and for many of our Senators, their season has really come together.

We saw another NEW SPARKMAN RECORDS set and in 7 events our Senators fought their way onto the podium – 2 of those were for Firsts!
(Full Results HERE)

This Meet’s NEW SPARKMAN RECORD came from Jr- William Otey in the Triple Jump. His leap of 38′ 10.25″ beat the old record by 3 inches and was good enough to give William a 6th place, point scoring finish!

Once again, Jr- Kai Perkins show herself to be the class of the field in the Discus. This week she REALLY out did herself, setting a NEW PR by 6 feet. The difference between 2nd and 3rd place in this event was about 3 feet. Kai’s WINNING THROW of 105′ 3″ was more than 16 feet further then the 2nd place throw!

JR- Rob Russell continues to show dominance in the Boys Polevault. He WON the EVENT with a jump of 12′-6″.

Over all, we finished in the points in a Season High, 23 events and had athletes take home 7 medals!
 Our Boys team finished 6th and our Girls finished 7th.
