The Indian track teams traveled to Randolph Southern on Tuesday for a meet against Southern, Wes-Del and Winchester and the boys finished with a 2nd place to Winchester while the girls were able to place in the top 3 in all of the events that they competed in. The Indian boys were without Bradin Daniels and Keian Brockman during the meet and that proved to be enough for the Indians to lose a close one by 16 points. Jayson Connor finished second in the 110mh after tripping towards the finish line but in doing so he ran a new PR finishing with a time of 15.79. Jayson is inching closer to the 110mh record of 14.8 set in 1982 by Shon Prescott! Jackson Cowper placed first in the long jump with a jump of 18'6 just missing his PR. Colton Emrick ran the 400m for the first time and finished with a 1st place finish. After being sore and tired all night the 4x4 team of Alec Spence, Jackson Cowper, Jayson Connor and Conner Walser were able to cruise and finished 1st for the Indians.
