The Arkansas Activities Association, often times reffered to as the triple A, released their list of participants for Wednesday’s Meet of Champs. Sylvan Hills had eight student athletes listed. For the girls: Paris Wilburd competed. For the boys: Tyler Blakely, Nigel Casey, Marcus Heard, Kenan Morris, Josiah Rainey, Tyler Scott, and Joe Thompson competed.

Coach Collins had this to say afterwards about the event, “We competed yesterday at the Meet of Champs, the best of the best in Arkansas. Kenan Morris finished 4th in the high jump. Tyler Scott finished 3rd in long jump and 5th in the high jump. The relay team finished 6th. Paris Wilburd finished 4th in the 100 meter hurdles. Josiah Rainey can still claim to be the fastest man in Arkansas. He finished first in the 100 meter dash.”

“If you see them,” Coach Collins continued, “please congratulate them.”

Coach Hamilton had this to say afterwards about the event, “Very proud of all our track athletes.  Paris Wilburd will be taking her talents to Fayetteville next Wednesday and Thursday to compete in the Heptathlon.  She will be competing in the 100m Hurdles, Long Jump, Discus, 200m Dash, High Jump, Shot Put, and the 800m dash.”
