PREP SPORTS PREP TRACK Remembering District meet set for today a teammate BY DENNIS BRUNSON [email protected]

The boys and girls track and field teams from Crestwood, Lakewood and Sumter high schools will gather at Me- morial Stadium today for a little Sumter School District competition. The teams will compete in the Sumter District Championship beginning at 5 p.m. The field events and running events are scheduled to begin at the same time. This will be the second big meet at Me- morial Stadium in the last few days. On Saturday, SHS played host to the Game- cock Invitational. The Sumter boys finished second in a tight battle with Wilson in a 9-team meet. Wilson won with 139.50 points while Sumter had 126. Crestwood was eighth with 19 points and Thomas Sumter Acad- emy was ninth with 12 points. Brandon Poston and Ja’Keem Heyward both won events for the Gamecocks. Poston won the 3,200-meter run in a time of 10 minutes, 12.72 seconds, and Hey- ward won the long jump with a distance of 21 feet, 10 inches. The 4x800 relay team of Poston, Brian Gamboa, Theron Bradford and Keron Benbow won in a time of 8:51.44.
