Makenzie Webb of CHS Track
The Coffee County CHS track teams hosted their 2nd home meet of the year on Tuesday and their first large meet as they welcomed Blackman, Shelbyville, Warren County and Cascade to Carden-Jarrell Field. More than 175 athletes competed in the event which is the largest event yet on the newly remodeled track. When the dust settled, the Lady Raiders captured a 2nd place finish to Blackman while the Red Raiders came in 4th place.
The Lady Raiders actually tied Blackman in the running events with 78 points on the day. In the field events, an injury and a bit of reshuffling of the events for the participants saw Blackman get the winning edge 56 to 42. In the team relay races, Coffee County got a 1st place team finish in the 4×800; a pair of 2nd place finishes in the 4×400 and 4×200 and a 4th place finish in the 4×100.
