MEET SUMMARY:
BOYS:
Brossart set four meet records. The Shuttle Hurldes team beat a 5-year old record (St Henry 1:08.8, 2002) by almost 2 seconds with a time of 1:07.0. The Brossart Discus and Shot Put duo shattered two records in one night. The Discus record (255-8) set just last year by the same team fell by almost 13 feet (268-7) while the Shot Put record set 2 years ago by Glen Este (95-10) was shattered by almost 8 feet (95-10). The Mustangs did not stop there as they broke an 8-year old record (St Henry 11-8) in the High Jump event at 12-0. Boone County raced to the Runner-Up trophy by winning one gold medal and capturing seven silvers.
GIRLS:
Two records fell during the windy and chilly evening. Notre Dame sprinted past the 400m Relay record set in 2003 by Brossart by 1/10 of a second running 52.6 seconds. The last event of the night saw the 2-year old record fall in the Triple Jump by the slimmest of margins. Ryle jumped 63-11.5 to surpass the old record of 2005 set by Brossart by one-half inch.
