The AMHS Track Team spent Saturday at West Ashley High School for the 10th annual Sandlapper Track and Field Classic. The “Sandlapper” is the first big meet of the Spring season and is a great way for teams to showcase their athletes for the upcoming season. Both the boys and girls teams had their time on the podium on Saturday with runners placing in the top eight for various events.

For the Raptors, the victories began with the girls distance medley relay, featuring freshman Kate Kuisel and sophomores Caroline Seymour, Caroline Keefer, and Annalise Hafner. These four speedy ladies placed 5th in this event!

The next big win came from the boys in the 4×1600 meter relay. Seniors Hayden DiBona and Philip Middleton, sophomore Brett Schlesinger, and freshman Colin Baker ran their way to 3rd place for this event.

The Raptors dominated the 4×800 meter relay with top finishes from both the girls and boys. The girls, freshman Kate Kuisel, sophomores Caroline Seymour and Annalise Hafner, and junior Sarah Feingold, celebrated their 2nd place finish with a whip and a pair of crocs atop the podium.

Then the boys, seniors Hayden DiBona and Maddox Johnston and juniors Liam Christensen and Aldo Moreno-Reyes, sped their way to a 3rd place finish in this event.

Then rounding out the wins for the day, freshman Colin Baker won an individual 8th place in the boys 1600 meter run.

Overall, the Raptors had a great showing at the Sandlapper Classic this weekend and should be on track for a relay awesome season!
