Chamois’ high school track and field team competed at the Hermann Invitational on April 23, with Brayden Cotton’s pair of medal-winning performances leading the Pirates, as he placed second in the shot put with a throw of 43-5, and added a fourth-place finish in the discus (114-6), earning medals in both events.

Coach John Leach said the Hermann meet is typically a challenging event for Chamois, noting that the team “does not get a medal” most years, but saw success this time.

Leach added that several athletes recorded personal bests and said he was “very proud of all of them” as the team prepares for the conference meet at Russellville.
