State Meet Wrap

The Storm wrapped an outstanding 2012 track and field season with 2 impressive performances on Day 2 of the State Track and Field Meet. The day began with Zack Haffner in the long jump, seeded 15th coming into the event, he jumped 21' 4.25" to land in 3rd place after the first flight. That was his best jump of the year. The second flight has several athletes fail to match their seed jumps and Zack was 6th heading into finals. On his first jump of finals he jumped 21' 8", his best ever and tied for 4th best in school history. That jumped placed in 4th and was not bested over the rest of the contest. True to form for the season, never having time to enjoy the moment, Zack had to quickly change shoes and jog over to his zone for the start of the 4 x 100 relay. The team of Matt Huberty, Zack Haffner, Brandon Landowski, and Jake Lynch was 9th seeded and was unable to match their record setting performance of the day before and had to settle for a time of 43.23. That was .03 seconds slower than their time in the prelims, but was good enough for 7th place. The day ended with the boys collecting their State Meet medals, plenty of smiles, and many, many great memories.
