Wining a team state title in track is not about the best team, it is about having a few elite athletes which Cahokia has. Plainfield Central took like 5th in their conference last year, but 6th in state due to the two really good kids they had. There should be a seperate team state for all sectional winners the week after like wrestling but that is a whole different topic.Originally posted by LHSTigers94:
Cahokia would NOT win any class however they are very strong in 2A. They have one of the best Jumpers in the Country with Ward however everything else is just a little about average. They win a lot of meets with depth which do not translate into qualifying based on 3A standards. To keep on pace with the topic, AJ does everything well. Just a good overall athlete. Edwardsville also got in a transfer Hurdler who might challenge Michl's before its all said and done.
That's probably the most impressive thing. Kudos to their coachOriginally posted by LakeCtyNewt:
Thy also have the highest collective GPA on their team this year than ever. That in and above itself is impressive. Very good chance we could see Jamari Ward in Rio next summer he's that good in the triple jump.
It is a top 10 state.Originally posted by JCHILLTOPPERS:
how does illinois track compare verse other states?
He has another whopper: 187-feet 2/ 1/2-inches at the Alton Frosh/Soph Relays.nationally ranked thrower in the discus throwing 180 feet today. For those who know nothing about track, that is really hard to do.
Edwardsville beat Cahokia this weekend ... without Jamari Ward participating.
