Track and Field
Season Recap
The Raiders track and field team delivered an amazing postseason performance, sending three athletes to the Class 3 State Championships to cement their place among the elite. Senior Avery Rand led the charge by capturing a coveted state medal in the 1600m, while district triple jump champion junior Peyton Styles and school-record breaker Henry Pickert ’26 (3200m) excelled in their respective events at the state level. School records were also broken this year by Henry in the 1600m and by the 4x200m girls relay team.
