From Coach Krolick
"
Preston Gantt has run almost a full minute faster in the 3k than he did in high school. Very solid runner-up performance.
Nicholas Potter learned from mistakes he made in his first mile in December and demonstrated his coachability and translated those lessons into his first collegiate win! A big breakthrough for
Chloe Widmann as her new personal best is 14 seconds faster than the previous in the one mile.
Jakob Nutzel and
Enrico Busato had consistent results for both in the shot put. Excited to see
Peyton Lust make both the Long Jump and Triple Jump finals. The first weekend of the 2024 competition is in the books. Rust has been busted it's time to get to work next week at Camel City."
What's Next?
The Royals will return to Winston Salem, NC on Friday, January 26th for the Camel City Invitational at the JDL Fast Track.
