Interview With the Record Breaking Athletes

By Arla Homady~Features editor~April 14th, 2021

I was able to ask the Boys 4x1 track relay team a few questions about the history they made just last week. Here´s what they had to say about this accomplishment.

¨Did you expect to break the record at your first meet?¨

  • Tyler Bearer- ¨Yeah absolutely.¨

  • PJ Copeland- ¨Yes... we ran it in practice a couple of days prior to the meet and we were already super close to beating it. We knew that at the meet we would destroy this record, we just had a little bit of cleaning up to do.

  • Peyton Myers- ¨Oh yeah, we were really close when we ran it fully at practice so we figured we would break it our first meet.¨

¨Did you do any extra preparation to beat the record?¨

  • Tyler Bearer- ¨A little bit yeah.¨

  • PJ Copeland- ¨The only extra preparation we did was focusing on making clean handoffs and resting up.¨
