Track: Kentlake boys and girls beat Thomas Jefferson

Falcon boys move to 1-1 in duals while the girls move to 2-0 on the season.

The Kentlake Falcons swept the Thomas Jefferson Raiders in a track and field dual meet on March 26 at Thomas Jefferson High School.

Of the 17 boys’ events, Kentlake won nine events. A Falcon boy took home first in every running event except the 110 meter hurdles.

Thomas Jefferson HS won every field event making the meet score 74-67. On the girls’ side, Kentlake won 75.5 to 68.5 over the Raiders.

The Kentlake girls won exactly the same number of events as the boys, although they were not as dominant in one specific area. The Falcon girls won five field events and four races. Kentlake won the 4X100 relay and 4X400 on the boys’ side, and on the girls’ side, dropped both relays.
