The Mike Henderson state track meet was on May 7, 2022. The boys had their meet at Ankeny while the girls had their meet at Waukee, Iowa. They split the meet so it didn’t take 2 day to complete. There were 2 divisions that separated the schools. The small school division and the large school division. We were part of the large school division.
Even though we were part of the large school division and were considered a large school. Not that many boys were there at the meet. Since baseball/soccer season started. A lot of people had baseball tournaments and soccer matches during the state meet so they weren't able to go.
Surprisingly there were only three 7th graders at the meet, and around nine 8th graders. So not that many events were covered For example, we had no hurdlers in the entire meet. But we did have all our field events covered for the 8th grade boys.
Evan Barr (8th grader) did the high jump, he got out at 5 feet, his PR is 5’4 so he did pretty well. Harjveen Singh (8th grader) threw discs and shot put. Got 108 feet in disc’s and 16 feet in shot put.
Although only a few people came to the meet. Where we did have runners and field event people we did very well.
