Knights Top Woodruff 126-24

The Knights swarmed over the undermanned Warriors by winning 15 of the 19 events. Nathalie Razo was a triple individual event winner taking the 100 Hurdles, Triple and High Jumps. Katie Grinstead continued her strong middle distance efforts in winning the 800 m and 1600 m events. Knights' freshman Shavantay Thomas was kept out of the individual win column by Woodruff All Conference senior sprinter Pertrice Holley...but only by a lean in both the 100 and the 200 making for interesting matchups in the late season conference and sectional championships next month. With her :27.3 clocking in the 200, Thomas moved past three of last season's top RHS 200 runners - All-Staters Stephanie Lovingood, Biannca Ward and Jessica Smith - to claim number 24 in the all-time RHS lists.

Despite everything else that was going on, the evening really belonged to double event winner Jewel Sanders. In the shotput Jewel leapt over former RHS state contender Almeda Pitts into second place on the all-time RHS records list (http://richwoodstrack.com/Top_Times/top_list.htm) with two throws exceeding 39', the best being 39' 4". The mark is a mere 1 1/2" off the RHS record set by Delaina Martin in 2003. Sanders also threw a season best 126' 3" in her specialty, the discus.
