The CCHS track team is in the news again at the Chup Robinson Classic held in Glenville.

It was tough competition for the team. The weather was cold enough to freeze the dinger off a brass wind chime. Just when a person thought it was time to put up the sweat shirts, it was time to drag out the long handles again. Warm weather  is as unpredictable as a grandma’s soufflé this season.

With that being said, the track team hit the road and made their presence known on the track. Teams took to the field, and both the boys’ and girls’ teams were heating up the track between shivering in the snow.  The Ladies held their own, placing second in the tournament overall. Sharina Ratliff is still raising eyebrows with her running skills. She was second in both the 800 and 1600 meter runs, and the queen of the track in the distance runs.  She is not the only one burning the carbs.

Lexi Ramsey was the 3^rd highest scoring girl at the meet, placing 2^nd on the high hurdle, 1^st in the low hurdles, was on the 1^st place 4×100 team and was on the 1^st place 4×200 team.  Also in the 4×400 and the 4×800 meter, the Lady Panther relay teams took first. Hannah Casto took 4^th in the 100 meter dash and 3^rd in the 200 meter dash. Garrett Quinn has turned on the beats mode in the hurdles placing 2^nd in both the high and low hurdles. The boys placed 4^th overall in the meet.

The teams will be in action once again at Roane County  on Tuesday night and again on Friday night at Independence High School.  Go Panthers and Lady Panthers!
