Chamois track and field athletes turned in a strong showing across two late-season meets, highlighted by multiple medal performances and continued growth as the postseason approaches. 

At the California Guy Rush Memorial on Thursday, Brayden Cotton earned a pair of second-place medals in the shot put (13.03 meters) and discus (32.28 meters), while Carly Schollmeyer was second in the 3200-meter run in 14:52.47, also earning a medal.

Kaden Wuelling placed fourth in the 110-meter hurdles in 19.00 and added a seventh-place finish in the 300-meter hurdles.

“This was a good last meet of the year,” Coach John Leach said. “We have five practices to fine-tune all of the events for kids. We need to work hard this week to get ready for the meet. This team just needs to go out and give all they have, and good things will happen.”
