Thee GHS Eagles Track Team finished the season at the Wetumpka Speed Meet where Sherrod Thomas won second place and Jabari Williams won third place in the 110 hurdles.

“This year our students have excelled on the track field and in the classroom,” Davis said. “From last year to this year, the Goshen Eagles Track Team has grown from 12 members to 25 members and many of these students are two- and three- sport athletes.”

This year’s track team has students who competed in multiple events.

“There are only four seniors on this year’s team,” Davis said.  “Most of the team members are freshmen and sophomores.  We have several seventh and eighth graders competing at top levels. “

“In the 100m, Jabari Mclure and Szmerick Andrews posted times of 11.55 and 11.51, which are among the top ten in 3A. In the 200m, Kadavion Bristow posted a top time of 23.1, that Coach Davis of the Goshen track and field team has consistently been in the top five along with Jamari Mclure’s time of 23.4. “

Davis said the GHS Track athletes love competition, and have fun at practice. 

“They love to come to practice and compete with each other,” the coach said.  “We have sectionals coming up this Friday, and I believe our students will do really well. We set goals for ourselves every week and reach them. The most important thing is that our students really enjoy the sport and are really excited about our upcoming match on Friday.  We want to thank the parents and the community for their support and encouragement throughout the year.”
