Seven total Warren Warriors — five boys and two girls — will be competing in this weekend’s state track meet at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium.
The Warren boys are sending of pair of relay teams in the 4×400 (Andrew Vincent, Caleb Burns, Ezekiel Reeder and Brennan Perdue) and the 4×800 (Bryson Angelo, Benjamin Bishop, Vincent and Perdue) while the girls qualified Lily Herriott in the high jump and Mia Janes in the seated shot put.
“(Janes) had thrown 10 feet this season and that qualified her for the state meet,” Warren girls coach Sally Maddox said of the junior. “She is going Friday, but we don’t know what time yet. It’s her first year throwing. We’ve never had someone compete at state in seated. It’s been a good experience.”
Herriott, a senior, had a chip on her shoulder after just missing the cut for the state meet last year.
“She came close last year and just missed getting to go,” Maddox said. “This has been a goal all season for her.”
