Several Panther track and field standouts battled top competition recently. From June 20-22, team members traveled to Greensboro for the Adidas Outdoor Nationals, locking horns with opponents from across the Eastern Seaboard. Franklin’s contingent was led by senior David Rogers, who placed 10th in the pole vault in the National Elite Division (12’ 3.75”) and helped teammates place 15th in the Championship Sprint Medley Relay (3:46.01), despite sophomore Reid Laseter battling the flu. CJ Engert and Adam Rogers also competed in the pole vault, while Tuscola standout Brandon Jordan ran the relay’s 400-meter leg.
