Red Arrows  Finish 4th at OK White Conference Meet

Lowell went into the OK White Conference meet with a  4th place regular season ranking and when the dust settled on Friday night they were in 4th place at the conference meet.  The 4th place finish allowed them tied with an overall OK White ranking of 4th tied with Northview.  The Red Arrows were able to get two members on the ALL CONFERENCE team as Caleb Swart and Landon Grant made the team on points.  In the meet Lowell was able to take medals away in thirteen of the seventeen events which is a great way to finish the conference meet considering that all but one of the medalists will be coming back next year.  The Arrows are young and gained a lot of experience going against many of the senior laden teams. Besides the medals the number of PR's (personal records) hit on Friday night took both hands to count.  Some of the highlights of the evening were Keegan Cater's 116-05 toss in the discus which was a 10' improvement, Landon Grant's 5-09 HJ mark, Caleb Swart 1600m / 3200m double, Josh Rau's 110HH / 300H double, the 800m where the top 5 were within 1 sec, and lastly the 1600m where all entries obtained a PR.  The JV OK White Conference meet is Tuesday at Red Arrow Stadium and the MHSAA regional meet is Friday at East Lansing HS.
