by Wildcat Times staff

On a beautiful, but windy, day for a track meet, and ‘Cats put forward some very nice performances to take 5th at the Quincy Invitational.

Senior Ben Wines led a strong day in the field events for P-ford, winning the discus with a PR of 144’07”, and finishing 5th in the shot put with a throw of 43’05”. Junior Garet Lee jumped a season-best 5’11 to place 6th in the high jump, while junior Kurtis Brackman set a new PR with a 12’03” pole vault, good for 2nd.

Lee paced the ‘Cats on the track as well, finishing 2nd in the 110m hurdles (16.57s). Junior Brent Smith took 5th in both the 1600m run (4:48.87s) and 3200m run (10:43.66s).

The ‘Cats host Bellevue on Wednesday, and travel to Litchfield for the Purdy Invitational on Saturday.
