Members of the DeKalb and Warren track and field team set the new school record in the boys 4 x400 meter relay team on April 23rd at Cookeville High School. The girls 4x 400 relay came extraordinarily close, missing the record by 3 hundredths of a second. It was an exciting night of track and field for these athletes!
Teammates Julian Martinez, Lee-Allen Esperza, Kaleb Spears and Andrew Key broke the record with a blazing time of 3.36.64, besting the previous mark set in 2016 by almost 2 seconds!!
The girls 4×400 team was run by Breanna Iverson, Chloe VanVranken,
Ella VanVranken, and Zoey Snider with a time of 4.28.7. Missing the record by such a fraction of a second left the girls team hungry for another chance. The record was set last year at sub-sectionals with a time of 4:28.4.
Other personal bests set on Tuesday were:
Ella Hendrixson 200 meter: 32.13
Leah Trapp 100 meter: 15.08
Chloe VanVranken 400 meter: 63.8
Tytianna Fisk 100 meter: 17.37
