Langston Hughes Host "All Comers" Meet
On Saturday, the Langston Hughes track and team held their “All Comers” meet featuring several teams from around the metro Atlanta area and surrounding counties. The Panthers’ “All Comers” was not a meet in which there would be team winners at the end of the day, instead, the meet was an opportunity for “coaches to enter up to five athletes in individual events to evaluate them in a competitive setting,” Langston Hughes coach, Kevin Foster said of the event.
Among teams there that had a good showing were the Luella Lions, who started the day with first place finishes in the girls 100M hurdles as Maddison McLaurin finished with a first place time of 16.53, the boys 110M hurdles with Devonte Jackson taking first in a time of 15.69, just beating out Riverwood’s Janon Redmond (15.79). The Lions would also finish first in the girls (Kameron Noble – 13.13) and boys (Jordan David – 11.25) 100M dashes.
The Lions would clean up in several relays as well including the boys 4x200M relay (1:34.25), girls 4x100M relay (51.28) and girls 4x400M relay (4:15.06). Host Langston Hughes would also have a good showing on the day with wins in the boys 4x100M (43.94), a one, two, three finish in the boys 400M run (Rodney Shelley – 51.14, Kai Lewis – 53.10, and Torey Arnold – 53.57) as Shelley would also win the 200M dash in a time of 22.40 and his teammate Jaiden Barnes taking second in 22.54.
