Saratoga Lady Panthers take Regionals forging their path to State

With their impressive performance at Regionals, the Lady Panthers Track Team solidified many individual’s positions in various events to have an opportunity to repeat as state champs.  The 4x100, 4x400, 4x800,and sprint medley relay teams dominated the meet with first place finishes.  These performances alone led to 40 team points.  The girls impressed everyone in the long distance events as well, where they racked up several more points to add to their overall point total of 148.  

Whitney Bennett’s individual performances in the hurdles, long jump, and triple jump added 34 points to the team’s overall point total.  Josie Little chipped in 24 points from the individual events she competed in.  Madison Teichman added 18 points in her individual performances in the long distance races 3200, 1600, 800 meters. 

The boys may not have won at Regionals, but they moved up to 5th place after placing 6th last year, with 59 team points.  The relay teams chipped in 19 team points and all of the relay teams placed in the top four which gives them the opportunity to compete at state.  Grady Bartlett, Grant Bartlett, Douglas Anderson, Heston Fisher, Deke Herring, and Bennett Keel all qualified for state in one or more of their individual events.  

Saratoga Head Track Coach Hohnholt said he thought the boys and girls both performed really well at regionals and they are looking forward to next week.  “They know what events they are going to be in and I’m excited for them, said Coach.”   Hohnholt felt it was a well deserved honor for the girls to take first at 1A west regionals. The girls and boys both had individuals make sacrifices for the team to do relays and help the team earn more points. We are fortunate to have great individuals who help the team.  “I know they will perform their best when it counts the most”.
