The Fluco boys finished second out of 34 schools competing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once again, junior Garrett Jordan led the way for the Flucos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jordan had an extraordinary meet. He captured the state championship in the 300-meter run with an impressive meet-record time of 33.99 seconds. Jordan also won the triple jump, a rare combination of state titles in both a track and a field event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He added two more strong finishes, placing second in the long jump and third in the 55-meter dash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Senior middle-distance runner Jack Jeffries finished sixth in the 1,600-meter run and seventh in the 1,000-meter run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also performing well for the Fluco boys were sophomore Jayden Wrigley and senior Ethan McPherson. Wrigley was the state runner-up in the shot put, while McPherson placed sixth in the pole vault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All four Fluco boys competing at the state meet turned in season-best performances and earned All-State honors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the girls\u2019 side, the Flucos had two athletes qualify for the state meet. Senior Ruby Frazier finished fifth in the 1,500-meter run and fourth in the 1,000-meter run. Freshman Izabella Campbell placed fifth in the 500-meter run. Those performances placed the Fluco girls\u2019 team 13th overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coach Kennedy noted that Fluco athletes competed in highly contested fields. In several track events, less than half a second separated the top five finishers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Flucos now turn their attention to the rapidly approaching outdoor track season. The schedule includes nine meets, though only one will be held at the Fluco home facility. Fluvanna will host a Jefferson District meet on April 15.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Duncan NixonCorrespondent On March 2\u20133, Fluco indoor track and field coach Melanie Kennedy took a contingent of athletes to the Class 3 state championship meet at Liberty University in Lynchburg.
