McCallie’s Track Team travelled to Nashville on Saturday to take on 3 other top track programs in the state and came away with an impressive win.
The Blue Tornado tallied 105 points to second place MBA’s 69. Brentwood High was third with 56, while Brentwood Academy finished fourth with 42 points.
In previous years this weekend would have seen McCallie hosting the McCallie Mid-South Invitational and Montgomery Bell Academy hosting the Doug Hall Relays, both meets having more than 40 years of history. This year McCallie head coach Mike Wood and MBA head coach Jan Pippen agreed to have a smaller “old school” meet with four quality teams.
Defending AAA State Champions Brentwood High and defending DII AA State Champions Brentwood Academy agreed to compete. MBA hosted the meet and and after the ride up I-24 McCallie came off their charter bus ready to compete.
Following a quick warm-up McCallie’s field athletes got things rolling in a big way. Evan Smith had a state leading and tremendous throw in the discus of 167’7”.
He also placed second in the shot. Jack Braman cleared 14’ to win the pole vault event. Three sport star Eric Rivers leaped to first in the long jump and a second place in the high jump.
Nic Robinson had a season best effort in winning the triple jump and scored third in the long jump. McCallie 8th grader Jack Bowen stunned the 3200 field by winning the race in 9:53.44. Michael May scored in both the pole vault and high jump and then won the 110 High Hurdles and 300 Intermediate Hurdles.
The Blue's triple winner on the day was sprinter Jackson Burns. Jackson blazed a season best 11.05 in the 100 and 22.63 in the 200 while also running with teammates B.J. Harris, John Kohl McAdams and Eric Rivers in winning the 4 x 100 Relay.
The Blue Tornado had season best in a number of events including the 4 x 800 relay group of Vito Knoop, Gus Farmer, Patrick Kushman, Hugh Carlson running 8:25.11, Freshman Kavan Reynolds ran 51.28 for 400 meters and fellow freshman Grady Outlaw cruised a personal best 4:38.38 in the 1600. Rhys Woodard also had a personal best in the 1600.
Nate Armstrong, Harry Carter and John Gabbert had personal best in the 3200 and first year track athlete Sam Baker dropped his 800 best to 2:05.85. Coach Wood said, “This was fun and we are fortunate to have an incredible group of boys who have great attitudes and athletic ability always helps!”.
