  • Lakeisha Greene came in 6th of 24 in the long jump.

This relay meet is not scored as though it is a regular track meet, so our overall score is not posted. We look forward to competing again against Lugoff-Elgin at home this Wednesday.

Boy Track & Field
The Boys Team traveled to Rock Hill on Saturday to compete in the Trojan Relays. The team placed 2nd out of 13 teams from North and South Carolina. Our shot put and discus throwers won both events with the best combined distances. Jalon Williams and Cameron Cosby were our only individual winners.

Softball
Lexington Wildcat Invitational:
The softball team competed in the Lexington Wildcat Invitational Tournament this past weekend. The girls finished 3-2 overall.  The team opened up with a loss to Nation Ford on Friday night, but were able to quickly bounce back beating a tough Gilbert team, in part by a grand slam by Anna Davis. Saturday started off well as they were able to beat both Dreher and Lexington, but finished the tournament with a loss to Blythewood.  The team will be in action again on Tuesday, March 18th at home against Lugoff Elgin in their first region matchup of the season.  JV starts at 5:30 and Varsity at 7:00. Come to the field and support your Lady Vikings!
