Knights Place 8th at Sectionals

Richwoods managed to ride the coattails of state qualifier Jewel Sanders to an 8th place finish at the 2005 IHSA Sectional Championships which were held at Bloomington High School. Sanders won the shotput with a throw of 38' 9". Despite a huge throw of 145' 10", which would have won the state championship for each of the last 5 seasons, Jewel could only claim 2nd place to the 148' 0" of Bloomington's Emma Schmelzer. The Sanders and Schmelzer discus throws are the top 2 seeds for next weekend's state championship. The next best discus mark is 136' 8".
Knights' freshman distance runner Katie Grinstead ran a p.r. of 12:03.5 and finished 3rd in the 3200 missing state meet qualification by one place. Senior Brittney Wallace placed 5th in the 300 hurdles. Richwoods' 4x800 relay of Olivia Coker, Alesha Guard, Sravanthi Veguna and Alie Stowell and 4x400 of LaPorschua Lindsey, Deja Davis, Markesha Fondren and Brittney Wallace both received medals on the strength of their 6th place finishes.
