Clarke sets record in year’s first track meet
Smoky Mountain’s track teams opened their seasons Friday in a 10-school meet at West Henderson.
The women finish eighth while the men placed ninth.
“We did pretty well overall,” Coach Michael McIntosh said. “I try looking it at from a conference standpoint. In that case we would have finished third and fourth. A lot of our places would have gone a long way up in the conference.”
Travis Clarke had SM’s best finish as he broke his own school record by placing second in the 300-meter hurdles in 42.77 and met the regional qualifying time.

Long jump – Rodney McCormick, fifth, 18-7.5.
