Track & Field

PHILADEPHIA – Coming to you from the City of Brotherly Love, a pair of late-season addendums to Christ School track & field’s record book.

Jack Dennehy ’27 started things off Thursday evening at the New Balance Nationals Outdoor meet in the 5,000-meter run, placing 15th overall with a time (15 minutes, 9.79 seconds) that was close to 30 seconds under the previous school record held by Kahzi Sealey ’23 (15:37.56).

EUGENE, Ore. – Much like Christ School, there will be two versions of the record book at Wake Forest University – before and after Rocky Hansen ’23. 

While much of the country was engrossed in Friday night’s United States-Paraguay World Cup match, Rocky came within a second of becoming only the second Demon Deacons athlete to win an event at the NCAA Championship Track Meet.

LEWISVILLE – Advances in nutrition and technology will keep pushing athletic performance to new levels.

Kingston Whitty ’26 draws from something uniquely special inside him, too, which is why a 36-year-old school and state record was finally on borrowed time Saturday. Kingston curled his body over the crossbar for an awe-inspiring win in the high jump (7 feet, 2 inches), a performance on its own that would have made the two-hour trip to Forsyth Country Day worthwhile for Christ School track and field. 

LEWISVILLE – Every inch and second feels consequential at a state meet. 

Koen Booker ’27 can attest after bringing his A-game to the long jump on Friday’s first day of the NCISAA Division I Championship Meet. 

MONTREAT, N.C. – Nine years constitutes a good run. 

Christ School track & field had several good runs Wednesday – and jumps and throws, too. 

BOONE – Noah Clancy ’26 went on a solo mission Saturday.

Not only did Noah not have any teammates to pace him for a longer race, the 5,000 meters at Appalachian State University’s John Weaver Invitational was run at higher altitude against college competition.
