Kentridge High junior Kevin Brown is a bit new to this track thing.
Last week during the league meet, however, Brown hardly looked like a relative newcomer to the sport. Brown, who throws the javelin, came into the meet ranked 16th in the event. With the top 10 individuals advancing, the Charger appeared to be on paper to be a long shot.
That long shot, however, uncorked one of the meet’s biggest gems. Brown ripped off a throw of 155-feet-2 inches, which not only surpassed his previous best, but shattered it by 20-plus feet.
Brown “has a ton of potential” Kentridge coach Al Waltner said.
The same could be said for the rest of the Kentridge team, which quietly advanced 18 athletes on to the district meet. Kentridge’s top placer at the league meet was Jaclyn Onosko, who finished third in the 400-meter dash (58.92).
