The Wabash High School boys track team turned in an impressive early season performance in Saturday’s Hoosier State Relays Final held at Fall Creek Pavilion in Indianapolis. Behind a 2nd place finish by Spencer Stout in the 60 meter hurdles, a 4th place finish by Coleson Kugler in the 60 meter dash, and a 5th place finish by the 4×400 meter relay team of Coleson Kugler, Drew Guenin-Hodson, Chase Howard, and Spencer Stout the Apaches scored 21 points en route to a 6th place finish. All schools in class 1A-3A had a chance to qualify individuals and relays during the previous 3 weeks. Any athlete or relay that posted a top 24 mark in an event during the qualifying period earned the opportunity to run in the finals. Once in the finals the top 8 of the 24 that qualify in each event score points for their team.
In addition, the Apaches also qualified 3 other relays who competed fiercely turning in their best performances of the season to date. The 4×200 relay of Coleson Kugler, Spencer Stout, Logan Cantrell, and Kristian Stanton finished 12th. The 4×800 relay of Jonas Church, Kaden Vogel, Drew Guenin-Hodson, and Ezra Church finished 14th. The Distance Medley Relay of Jonas Church, Kaden Vogel, Ezra Church, and Isaiah Cordes finished 19th.
