The girls and boys track teams from Quitman High School had a good day at the meet they hosted on Thursday, March 28th. Lexie Millien of Weston High School had a GREAT day! 

Millien took honors as the top female from Jackson Parish as she scored points in four events, including three podium placements. The versatile senior won the high jump, finished second in the long jump, third in the 100 meter hurdles and came in sixth place in the 200 meter dash to score all the points for WHS, who finished in 12th place overall.  

QHS proved to be a competent host of the meet that saw 15 schools from northeast Louisiana compete. The Lady Wolverines didn’t win an event but exhibited their depth by scoring in 14 of 18 events to finish in 3rd place as a team, while the boys squad rode three first place finishes, a second and three third place results to take fourth overall.

Gold medals for Quitman were Gage Horton (1600 Meters), Nathan Harvey (300M Hurdles) and LHSAA state indoor champion, Bryan “Peanut” Lay, who now has won five consecutive meets in the Pole Vault.

Five times Quitman finished in second place paced by both 4×400 meter relay teams. Also earning silver was Megan Kelley (1600M), Taylor Borland (100M Hurdles) and Lily Kate Odom (Triple Jump). Coming in third was Horton in the 800 meters and the boys 4×200 meter relay team.
