EHS FLEET FEET AT SECTIONALS

The Elkmont track team headed to the 3A – Section 3 meet at Mountain Brook High School last weekend and our athletes came on strong!
Friday night was full of excitement as our 4x800 teams took to the track.  

The girls (Jensen Pugh, Tori Pressnell, Hannah Hanback and Sammi Jo Pressnell) qualified for the state meet with a 3 place win, shaving 27 seconds off their time and setting a new school record with a time of 11:33.80!  Impressive race by all 4 of these young ladies!

The excitement didn’t die there.  The boys race was next and the team (Chance Bailey, Chase Prater, Tyler Helms and Nick Shelton).  The competition was tough and the boys ran hard to also qualify for the state meet with a time of 9:18.36.

The Elkmont boys dominated in the distance events.  The 1600M (1 Mile) was won by Adam McMahan with a time of 4:44.53.  Tyler Helms finished 3rd with a time of 4:59.12 and Chance Bailey was right on his heels in 4th place with a time of 4:49.53.  These 3 young men took 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the 3200M (2 Miles) run as well.  
Adam 10:29.36; Tyler 10:32.93; Chance 10:39.2.  
New personal records for all three of them in both of these events.  Adam McMahan also took 1st place in the 800M run with PR of 2:09.41
Ameia Davis ran strong and qualified for the State meet in the 100M and 200M sprints running her season best time of 14.48 and 30.8, respectively.

Our final group to qualify for state is our boys 4x100 team (Josh Ferrazas, Nick Shelton, Jake Armstrong and Noah Sharp)!  They ran a season best time of 50.65.
