A Few Highlights

Schnulle Battles from Behind for win

Charlotte senior Ryan Schnulle took the baton for the final leg with a sizable gap to make up. Last year's state record breakers in the event were in around 8th place with two laps to go. Schnulle took the challenge... he made up several seconds to close and then pass for the victory of 8:12.05, just .25 over Naples.

Ortiz Continues Streak

Olivia Ortiz has been on fire in Southwest Florida this spring. She swept the 1600 (5:02) and 3200 (11:00) and helped her team earn the 9:37 4x800 victory.
