Avon High School track team has traveled to three different track meets since the start of their season. Since then, several athletes have had amazing results. With the Wagner track meet being cut short because of poor weather, not all events were completed. Finishing high in this meet was a testament to the athletes because there were 16 teams in attendance.

Lila Vanderlei also placed first in shot put with a throw of 34' 9.5”. Vanderlei also placed 5th in discus with a throw of 100’ 5”. For boys discus, Kley Heumiller placed first in discus with a personal record of 119’ 5”.
