On Saturday April 13th the FHS track team traveled to Carpinteria for the 94th annual Russell Cup, purportedly the longest running track meet in the state. Despite the gloomy weather conditions the team still managed to take home medals both on the field and on the track. Anthony Rivas was 4th in the Boys’ Varsity 3200m with his time of 9:56.95. Kayla Grove heaved the round metal ball in the shot put for a best of 33-00 ¾ which earned her a 3rd place. Rounding out the hardware winners was Carlos Briceno, earning a medal for his 3rd place performance of 16.31 in the 110m high hurdles and his 2nd place finish of 44.42 in the 300m intermediate hurdles. Carlos also is the holder of the Freshman/Sophomore school record in the 110m High Hurdles.

The team will be competing home against Oak Park and Grace Brethren this Thursday at 3:00pm, hope to see you there.
