Day 1 State Meet

Records fell as the Storm performed very well at the State Track and Field Meet. The day began with the 4 x 200 relay of Zack Haffner, Matt Huberty, Brandon Landowski, and Jake Lynch ran a 1:30.59 improving on their seed time by .78 of a second. This broke the school record that stood since 2001 of 1:31.37 held by David Kelley, Jared Lazer, Sam Trushenski, and Shawn Roehl. The team finished 10th overall after being seeded 16th. They barely had time to think or react as they were running the 4 x 100 relay about 20 minutes later. The same team ran a time of 43.20, which was . 42 seconds better than their seed time. That broke the 2000 record of 43.38 held by Louis Winskowski, David Kelley, and Jared Lazer. The team finished 9th to move on to Saturday's finals. Jake Lynch also ran the 300 hurdles and finished 15th with a time of 40.61.
