There were 16 teams, including a PORTA White Varsity crew team a PORTA Blue JV crew. We even had the opportunity to get our 3rd string 165 the ability to wrestle for another team.

🏃‍♂️🏋‍♂️Summer Lifitng🏋‍♂️🏃‍♂️threw together a competition that stemmed from a little trash talk over the school year. A baseball player said, "I bet we would beat the track's 4x100 team." Well, we tested that. The fastest heat included a baseball team, the boys track team, a group of incoming freshmen, a group of guys who aren't spring sport athletes, and a group of the 4 remaining fastest guys. There was another heat that included everyone else. The bet- who makes the fastest 4x100. The prize- 2 scoops of protein per 4x1 team member for winning the heat & bragging rights. 🥇Baseball 🥈Non (spring) athletes 🥉Auxiliary team An asterisk was put in the bragging rights as the track team had only 2 guys running, with Hunter David running 3 legs of his teams 4x100.
