Boys track's relay teams got back to the state championships while a handful of gymnasts finished their season at the state finals.
Boys Track: Niles West’s defending state champion relay teams made some noise at the right time on Thursday, winning the 4x100 and taking third in the 4x200. After a season full of injuries – Santiago Ochoa has had hamstring issues – and switching in different people, Niles West’s performance at the sectional meet was one of its best all season. The Wolves’ relay marks weren’t spectacular and they’ll have to battle at state to get back on the podium, but it’s something they’re familiar with. Last year Niles West came out of relative obscurity to take both relay championships. Now with a little time before the state championships in Charleston, Niles West still has a few kinks to work out. “Get our handoffs right and hopefully we come home …
