January 7, 2012 was a good day for the Walker Indoor Track Team. The team placed 9th out of 27 teams with only 5 guys. The 4 by 800 meter relay started the Vikings off by taking 2nd place to Mountain Brook and breaking the track record. The time put them in first place for the 5A rankings by almost 10 seconds. Austin Elliot had a good day in his events by placing 65th out of 159 in the 60 meter dash and 18th out of 76 in the long jump, putting him in 5th place for the 5A rankings. Andrew Harris and Hunter Hawkins did well in the 800 scoring a combined total of 11 points with Andrew winning the race and setting the new track record and Hunter placing 8th. That puts Andrew at number one and Hunter at number four in the 5A rankings. Jeb Cowen placed 12th and had a new personal best of 52.46 putting him at second place in the 5A. Bradford Lepik did well in the mile coming in 12th and also had a new personal record; Bradford is also ranked well in the 5A state seeded at 4th place. To end a great day, the 4 by 400 relay team composed of Harris, Hawkins, Cowen, and Lepik placed 2nd to Hoover High School. This will put them in first place by over 10 seconds in 5A. Congrats to the Walker Indoor Track Team and Good Luck in your future meets.
