Track hosts annual race

On March 28, the track & field team hosted their 14th annual Friday Knight Relays with many anticipated events planned.

 

“It lasted me about five hours,” senior Mike Payne said. “I did the 8×200, 4×100 meters, sprint medley, and long jump relays.”

 

There were eight schools from St. Charles, including Francis Howell Central High School and Francis Howell High School competing in the relays. Each school had eight boys and girls from the varsity team so the numbers and the results would be fair for each team. Those events were scheduled based on the athlete’s ability and the team’s ability to work together to bring their results up to speed.

“This event was definitely inspirational and helped me motivate the athletes,” Head Coach Greg Hennefent said. “The three of us, Coach Parker, Schultz and myself made sure the event was going smoothly, and making sure every athlete was lined up correctly.”

North took first for the boys track team, with the success of the long distance runners boosting their scores for the results at the end of the relays. Girls took fourth out of eight, and considered it well done for the many new athletes that were part of the varsity team.

“I was surprised at how well the boys did, placing first in the relays,” senior Kayla Watson said. “Usually it’s girls that do better than the boys, but I’m happy at how it turned out overall.”
