Four events will compete at the State Track and Field Meet for Knoxville on the opening day of competition. Cassidy Pearson will get things started off for the Panthers in the discus. She will throw number three in the first flight. Coach Brad McWilliams tells KNIA/KRLS Sports Pearson has had a really good last half of the season. After Pearson throws the discus it will be time to see if Kendrea Richardson can become the fastest girl in class 3A, but to do that she must get through a loaded heat three in the 100 prelims. She will also run in the 200 prelims later on. Rounding out the day for Knoxville will be Sydney Washington in the 400. McWilliams says Washington has ran very well the last few meets of the season. In class 1A Twin Cedars is sending Jake Crozier to participate in the shot put. Crozier will be the seventh thrower in flight one. Listen for updates on KNIA/KRLS all day.
