Boys and girls track take second place at U-City meet
April 15, 2014
Over the weekend, both track teams headed to University City to compete in the U-City Meet. With a lot of talent enrolled in the meet, it would be a challenge to the entire Lafayette track program.
However, the boys and girls teams took second overall. The boys were right behind Kirkwood in points, while the girls fell to defending State champs Hazelwood Central by 32.5 points.
Some standout performances at the U-City meet were by senior Eric Yarbrough, who won the 100 meter dash with a time of 10.69, the fastest time in the State.
Sophomore Dylan Quisenberry finished first in the 1600 meter run with a time of 4:24. A freshman school record was set by Austin Hindman in the two mile run, ran in 9 minutes and 45 seconds.
For field events, sophomore Brendan Scales continues to work towards breaking the school record. Scales threw 52’8″ which put him in first past Hazelwood Central’s Roderick Johnson.
Earlier in the season, the boys took first at the Lindbergh Invitational. A two-day meet will take place this week on Wednesday and Thursday for the boys team at Parkway Central. And for the girls, their Lady Lancer meet is this Saturday and will be looking to come out on top at the end of the day.
![To determine the Undefined team for next year, junior team captains Evan Sommer and Payton Skipton, along with drama teacher Michael Swindle, hold after school auditions.
“One of the biggest things we look at during auditions is how well they can work with each other,” Skipton said.
Undefined put up flyers with QR codes for interested students, as well as Lafayette’s show choir group, Mic Drop.
With a dance and vocal component for the audition, Mic Drop held mandatory dance clinics after school.
“The actual audition is just a submission,” music teacher Christy Shaffer said.
Mic Drop holds auditions and dance clinics for three consecutive days, according to Shaffer.
“[The dance clinics are held] so they could see it in-person and break down. Then they can take that home to practice and do their recordings.” Shaffer said.
