Lancer Track and Field Qualifies 22 athletes for Kansas Relays

The Lancer Track and Field Team is using this week to gear up for the annual Kansas Relays Meet.  East has qualified 22 athletes, all of these athletes with the exception of a short number will be running in several events throughout the weekend.  The relays will take place Friday and Saturday at Memorial Stadium in Lawrence.

The Lancers have had recent success in the Kansas Relays.  Most recently in 2010 when the girls 4×400 relay team took home gold medal on their way to a first place finish at state.

According to Head Coach Brie Meschke, all eyes will be on Junior high jumper Grace Pickell.  In the first meet of the season Pickell skyrocketed over the school record with a leap of 5 foot 8 inches.  According to Meschke she will definitely be one of the East athletes they expect on the leaderboard.

Junior hurdler David Sosna will be the only East athlete to qualify and not race.  Sosna has been struggling with a broken foot since the beginning of the season and will not be racing this week.
