University Heights Academy had some solid finishes and two school records come from Saturday’s Invitational of the South Track and Field Meet at Marshall County High School.
Cole Glover won the 3200-meter run in a time of 10:06.05, which bettered the former UHA school mark of 10:07 ran by Tomas Duncan at the 2019 Panther Twilight Invitational. Glover’s time also shed nearly 11 seconds off his previous personal best time.
UHA’s 800-meter relay team also set a new school mark with a time of 1:36.15, edging last year’s time of 1:36.68 at the Hopkinsville Invitational.
UHA’s girls sent a limited roster to Draffenville and recorded several personal best times.
