The Russellville Panthers and Logan County Cougars track team all had several athletes that made it to the state tournament this past weekend. With a new format in the rules where there would be no preliminary races before the official track meet it meant everybody had an equal shot at the gold.
Case in point, Elizabethtown’s girls 3200 meter relay team probably wouldn’t have made it past the preliminary rounds, but ended up taking home the gold while setting a school record on Friday’s class double A meet. The Panthers and Cougars, both who have state contending teams, were looking to take home some hardware.
Here are the results for the Russellville Panthers boys track team at the Class ‘A’ meet last Thursday; Demarcus Hampton finished 19th in state with a 11.67 time in the 100 meter race; the 800 meter relay team of Dominique Harris, Joshua Hampton, Demarcus Hampton, and Zach Hines finished seventh in state with a 1:34.58 time; the 400 meter relay team of the same Harris, Hampton, Hampton, and Hines combination finished 10th in state with a time of 45.99; Dominique Harris finished 13th in state with a time of 23.46 in the 200 meter race and Demarcus Hampton finished 16th with a time of 23.60; Antonio Rose finished fifth in the triple jump with a jump of 41 feet and 10.5 inches and Quintin Calloway finished eighth with a jump of 40 feet and 6.5 inches; Joshua Hampton finished 11th in the high jump with a jump of five feet and eight inches. Russellville finished overall twenty sixth with seven team points. The Russellville girls team despite having the defending 100 meter champion was a no show for the meet on Thursday.
