As reported below on this blog, the big news of the second day of the state track and field finals for the Highlander track athletes was the first place performance by senior Austin Hayes.
Hayes not only won the Class AA 1600 meter run, but his time of 4:20.11 was the fastest time turned in by any competitor in the other 1600 meter Class A and AAA races, making Hayes a true statewide champion.
About four hours after his win in the 1600, a tired Hayes competed in the 800 meter run, but placed a distant 10th out of the 16 competitors. Shortly before Austin's 800 meter race, Courtney Treadway ran in the girls' 800 meter run, placing 11th out of the 16 runners.
Earlier in the morning, senior Ben Cochran finished 8th in the high jump, with a jump of five feet, eight inches.
Webster track coach Steven Nutter says he is still on "cloud nine" and is extremely proud of the efforts all of the Webster track athletes put forth this year and at the state finals.
