Raptors Track and Field Competes at Towson University Twilight Open
It was another excellent weather day for the Raptors and Field events. For our freshmen, the day began with Kendall Wideman (FR) competing in both the Long Jump and High Jump. Although the event schedule posed some challenges, Kendall displayed remarkable resilience and determination. In the Long Jump, he secured 3rd place, impressively outperforming several athletes from 4-year colleges. In the High Jump, Kendall started off strong, clearing a higher bar than he had in the previous meet. This bold move paid off, boosting his confidence as he looked ahead and trusted the process. He concluded the competition in 3rd place. With Kendall back in form, he now needs to refine a few technical aspects as he prepares for the upcoming regional track and field meet. For the second consecutive week, Chisenga Mwape (FR) achieved two personal bests. He clocked a time of 56.30 seconds in the 400 meters and finished the 200 meters in 24.61 seconds. Following the meet, Chisenga remarked, "I need to run
faster." He will have the opportunity to improve his times next week as he competes against teams from our region. Look what the wind brought in… Promise Whitmore (FR), freshly finished with a long basketball season, arrived just in time to lace up her spikes and compete against local colleges. This was Promise's debut in college track and field. She participated in the 100 meters, finishing with a time of 13.48 seconds, and the 200 meters in 28.05 seconds. After the races, Promise admitted she was feeling
nervous, but she is determined to improve and demonstrate that she can do better in next week's competition.
