The West Wendover Track team had a legendary weekend at Track State last week in Carson City! It was another weekend of personal bests and hard work and setting THREE School Records. First, Adara Griffith 2X State Champion broke her own record of 16' 10" and topped the podium defending her state title. Jorge Rodriguez qualified in an impressive four events (the most events possible for one athlete) and left his mark on WWHS by breaking his record for the 400m dash running 52.44 seconds. Finally, after an inspiring fight to the finish line a group of four FRESHMAN broke our 4x400m relay school record running a 4:58. The girls on this team: Sydney Howry, Emma Prieto, Keyla Escareno and Anaya Hernandez had only raced the 4x400 one other time. Even though they are just freshmen they are leaders on the team because of their hard work, leadership and ability to be team players. We are excited for great things from these girls in the future. West Wendover Track and Field would like to thank their school and community for all their support this season! We would also like to congratulate ALL athletes this season on an unforgettable season of hard work and personal growth.
