Last weekend
went well for the CHS boys’ indoor track relay teams as the
4x200 and 4x800 groups both qualified for the Class C State

event.
The 4x200 team
finished second overall behind Jon Vaughn, Jordan Guyton, Tyler
Briggs and Marty Fauche.
Also finishing
second was the high jump relay team of Matt Sidney, Vaughn and
Fauche with a cumulative jump of 17 feet, one inch. Vaughn and
Fauche each jumped five feet, five inches — both personal bests—
while Sidney jumped an outstanding height of six feet, three
inches.
Finishing
fifth was the sprint medley relay of Christian Bates, Guyton,
Fauche and Vaughn. The 4x800 relay team ran well and finished
seventh behind Bates, Nikita Amelchenko, Joey Ward, and Vlad
Leopard.
While the shot

sophomore Chris Walker, who enjoyed a personal best throw of
over 37 feet.
The distance
medley unit of Jimmy Paschal, Gautam Madineedi, Chris Ha, and
Mike Bronstein finished 15th overall.
Elgar also
praised the work of the 4x200 B team of Derek Seto, Evan
Feldman, Jared Hobbs and Alex Lenkei.
The 4x400
team turned in its fastest time (3:55.62) of the season behind
Sidney, Briggs (his first ever 400-meter race), Tom Kerikas and
Emyr Remy.
