Fremont Boys
Coach Somers:
We had another round of good performances at the West Michigan Invitational (All-Star Meet).
As the last meet of the season for most of these athletes is was nice to see them go out with a bang.
Adam Ward (So) set a massive PR in the 800 dropping his time by a little over 5 seconds to run 2:03.44 and place 7th.  Coming into the race he was seeded last out of 16 entries so this was huge race for him.  He got right into the mix from the start and had a strong finish to top things off.
Nathan Walker (So) was a double event winner leading wire to wire in both the 1600 (4:21.63) and 3200 (9:31.19).
Conor Somers (Fr) ran a PR in the 3200 (9:56.99) to break the 10 minute barrier and place 5th.
The 4x100 relay team of Carter Dunbar (Jr), Jared Luchies (Jr), Caleb Geeting (So), and Corbin Wolfsen (Sr) had great hand-offs to run another season record in 46.32.
Dylan Essebaggers (Sr) threw 116-7 to record a PR in the Discus.
In the High Jump Wes Ekkel (So) tied his PR of 6-0 to place 4th.
