WAYNESVILLE — The Miami Trace High School track teams took part in the Waynesville Invitational on Friday, April 7, 2017.
The boys team placed fourth out of 16 teams with 59 points.
The girls team finished in a tie for 10th place out of 16 teams, scoring 16 points.
Senior Drake Litteral won the 100-meter dash (11.1) and 200-meter dash (22.5) and was a member of the winning 4 x 200-meter relay that clocked a time of 1:33.1.
The other members of that relay were juniors Noah Wiseman and Brady Wallace and senior Elijah Sauceda.
The Panthers recorded four third place results.
Junior Wes Seyfang was third in the discus throw with a distance of 130’ 6”.
Sauceda placed third in the 200-meter dash with a time of 23.5.
Sophomore Jotham Lewis was third in the 800-meter run in 2:09 and the Panthers’ 4 x 100-meter relay, consisting of Litteral, Wiseman, freshman Caden Sweitzer and Sauceda, took third in 45.6.
On the girls’ side, junior Katie Seyfang won the shot put with a throw of 36’ 2”.
She placed third in the discus throw at 97’ 9”.
“This was a very competitive meet and a great test to see where we are at up to this point of the season,” Miami Trace head coach Brent Noes said. “We saw the kind of competition here that we will not see again until Districts.
“There were a lot of positives we saw out of our athletes tonight,” Noes said. “We saw a few others struggle with the pressure, but that is what these meets are for, to prepare us for the end of the season.
“It was unfortunate that we did not have either of our teams at full strength tonight because of a large number of students participating in the school musical,” Noes said. “It would have been great to have them participate in this caliber of meet as well.”
The Panthers will host Hillsboro and Lynchburg-Clay in a tri-meet Tuesday at 4:30 p.m.
