A Handful of Grizzlies Compete at Preston Invite

Apr 24, 2026 09:04AM ● By Jody Reeves

With Spring Break in full swing the Grizzlies were the only local track team that saw any action last week.  Grace took a partial team on the road to Preston to compete in a crowded field.  With just a handful of their team going up against several larger schools the Grizzlies just could not compete in the team scoring. However several individuals made some great improvements.

For the boys team sophomore speedster Carter Mecham earned a new personal best time in the 100 meter sprint and followed that up with a fourth place finish in a very competitive 200 meter race.  Bryant Moss earned a top ten finish in the javelin and Case Williams threw a season best in the discus.  The best boys performance of the day came from Jonah Wilkerson.  Wilkerson finished fourth in the 300 meter hurdles and took the top spot in the 110 hurdles.

For the Lady Grizzlies Haiden Osborn continues to do well in the throwing events earning new personal bests in the discus and javelin finishing in the top ten in each event.  Ashley King earned personal bests in the 200 and 800 meter races and Addie Wright earned one in the 100 meter race.  Brooklyn Porter ran a season best in the 800 meter race and finished in fourth place overall.  Finally Bella Eddins continues to perform well in the hurdle races running season bests in both while finishing fifth in the 100’s and fourth in the 300’s.

The Grizzlies will be back to full strength this week as they will travel to Century on Friday.
