PREP TRACK & FIELD: Local athletes shine at Cullman Classic
Mar. 19—This year's Cullman Classic took place Saturday, with numerous local athletes putting together excellent showings for their respective programs.
Cold Springs' Ethan Edgeworth (1,600-meter run), Cullman's Patrick Adcock (discus and shot put), Fairview's Kabri Redding (discus) and Hanceville's Zach Campbell (200-meter dash) each took home gold medals in their individual events, while the Black and Gold's 4x800-meter relay team (Cadan Fales, Andrue Barnett, Brayden White and Lane Hopper) collected a first-place finish as well.
Those area standouts were among the many who medaled at the annual track and field meet, which played host to 40 teams — ranging from Class 1A to Class 7A — and 1,200 athletes inside Oliver Woodard Stadium.
Cold Springs' boys finished third behind Auburn and James Clemens, while Cullman (fourth) and Hanceville (eighth) also placed inside the top 10. On the girls side, Fairview (fifth) and Good Hope (sixth) produced top-10 efforts.
