Trojans run away with county track and field title
Northwestern is again champion of York County high school track and field after cruising to the win at Thursday’s county meet.
The meet was named after the late coach Bob Jenkins and he would have been proud of the Trojans’ effort as they strolled to victory on their home track.
Nadia White pushed the Trojan girls. The sophomore talent won the long jump by 3.75 inches (15 feet, 10.50 inches), and also claimed a win in the 100-meter dash and ran a leg in the victorious 4x100 relay. Taylor Kirkland and Nicole Rauppius were two other Northwestern females ever-present in the top-3 of multiple events.
Northwestern’s Chris Bouyer won the shot put by 10 feet, while Clover’s Ben Clark gave the Blue Eagles some happiness by winning the 1600 and finishing second in the 3200.
Most of the York County schools, minus South Pointe and plus Gaffney, will meet again April 30 for the Region 3-4A championship meet at York.
