RHS Performers at PJS Honor Roll

Seniors Brittney Wallace and Shauna Wills were joined by Junior Jewel Sanders and Freshman Katie Grinstead as the only Knights to qualify to compete at the annual Journal Star Honor Roll Meet.
The event marked the career end for Wills, who is the Knights' record holder in the Pole Vault, who finished 8th at Honor Roll in her specialty event, and for Wallace who finished the 300 Hurdles at the meet in 7th position. Wallace ranks number 5 in RHS annals in the 300 Hurdles and 8th in the 100 Hurdles.
Sanders fresh from her previous weekends' double medal winning performances at the State Championships qualified to compete in both throws. The Knights' record holder in both events could muster enough to grab the 2nd place medallion in each of the throws behind Tremont Senior Sam Springer whose 144' 2'" discus throw broke Sanders' previous record of 141' 8" in the meet.
Grinstead made her debut in the Honor Roll Meet with a distance double in the 1600 and 3200 meter runs. The Meet produced quite a smile from Katie as she took home her initial Honor Roll Medallion by finishing 3rd in the 3200. She came back to finish 8th in the 1600.
