UC Track Team Bringing Home the Wins
This month, we asked our track coach, Ms. Kaitlin Suffridge, to tell us about the top track performers at Union County High School. They have started the season off great, with many people hitting their personal records (PRs). Coach Suffridge says, “Our distance runners are killing it! Titus Moore, Grayson Schireck, LJ Moore, and Alexus Demetroff have all PR’d several times this season. Improving their times in the 1600m, the 800m, and 3200m significantly.” There were also a couple of students who hit their Discus PR.. She says, “Derick Nicely and Phoenix Henderson both added several feet to their Discuss PRs at Jefferson County and qualified for sectionals- Derrick with a throw of 111 feet 8 inches and Phoenix with a throw of 107feet.” The following athletes have all qualified for the AA East sectional meet on 5/7/26: Derrick Nicely- Discus, Daniel Nicely- Triple Jump, Phoenix Henderson- Discus, Miles Justice- 800m, 3200m, Brody Williams- boys 110 hurdles, Kyle Olszewski- boys 300m hurdles. Coach Suffridge ends it off by saying, “We still have some meets left this season, and we are hopeful that more athletes will be qualified for sectionals soon!” We wish our track team luck for the upcoming meets.
