Sports-in-Brief: Track takes off with a bang

For most Bartlett students March 13 was a Saturday spent preparing for Spring Break. The track team, however, devoted this day to the West Tennessee Jamboree, which more than 20 schools attended. This meet marked the official start of the track season. Many Bartlett athletes participated, both male and female, including senior Xin Huang, who placed seventh in the shot put and second in the discus throw. Huang and sophomore Ryan Wilcox, who took eighth place in the 1600-meter run and ninth place in the 3200-meter run, placed in the top ten in multiple events.

Also, in another meet on March 23 at Houston High School, the boys’ team placed third overall, and the girls’ team placed fifth overall.
