MCHS track teams place 3rd and 4th at Henderson meet

The McLean County High School track team competed in the Hendo Quad Meet at Henderson County High School on April 13. The men placed third and the women came in fourth with 16 events scored.

Several athletes had good performances on the day. Konnor Statts won the 400 meter dash with a personal record (PR) of one minute flat. Aaden Bates came in second in the 1600 meter run with a PR of 5:42. Sophie Skinner placed seventh with a PR of 38 feet 4 inches in shot put.

“It was a good meet to get back going after spring break and shows us what we need to focus on over the next month leading up to Regionals,” said Coach Seth Lancaster. “We have a young group, but they have improved a lot since our first meet at Caldwell. It’s been fun seeing them consistently getting new PR’s each week.”

The track team had a meet at Owensboro on Saturday and will be participating in the Apollo All Comers Meet tonight. Events will begin at 5 p.m.
