Westlake Takes All In Annual Track and Field Showcase

On Saturday, the Westlake High School Track and Field Team hosted their 6th Annual Westlake Lions Showcase which featured 22 teams from around the state of Georgia.

In individual running events, Westlake's Kennedy Price took the top spot in the 100M in a time of 11.98 while the Lions' Tai Brown won the 800M in a time of 2:25.29.

In Girls individual field events, the Lions' took second place (Daysha Ward - 5'4) and third place (Jada Watson - 5'2) in the high jump and in the triple jump, Arieaunna Terrell took third place with a jump of 33'0.
