Boys Track & Field

2024 Season Review

The boys track and field season was one filled with records and championships. Senior thrower Seth Brosseau and junior distance runner Sam Vaught headlined the team’s successes. Brosseau’s long list of accomplishments this season include: Indoor State Champion in shot put, school record in the shot put and discus, county, sectional and regional championships in both throws and an All-State finish in the shot put outdoors. Additionally, Brosseu holds the 19th best throw of the shot put in the history of Indiana. Vaught nearly equaled Brosseu’s success; winning the sectional and regional 1600M championship and setting a new school record along the way. Qualifying three events for the IHSAA State Championships continued the team’s incredible streak of 22 consecutive seasons with state qualifiers.

The distance medley relay team of senior Ezra Littell, sophomore Owen Lewis, freshman Will Lewis and Vaught, as well as the 4 X 200m relay of sophomore Liam Kidwell, sophomore Alex Beard, senior Ben Brandenburg and senior Eli Miller both set new standards.
