First Time In School History

Edmonson Voice Sports:
For the first time in school history, Edmonson County Middle School Track had representation at the Middle School State Track Meet, which was held in Louisville on May 27th. 

Aidan Meredith competed in the one-mile run, Haley Shields competed in the shot put and discus, and Jasper Young, Jack Browning, Aidan Meredith, and Zander Garrett competed in the 4 x 800 relay. 

“It is extremely hard to qualify for the middle school state track meet,” said Coach Brad Meredith. “There are qualifying standards that must be met; the middle school state is all schools combined. It's not split up into three classes like our High School is.  We have never had any athletes meet the standards. They are very hard to obtain and many of these kids will also compete in the High School State meet.  This is a great honor for these kids and I am very proud of them.”
