On day 1 of the State Championships Jonah Archer became ill with a sinus infection and had to go to urgent care where he received IV fluids and medication.

Jonah returned on day 2 still suffering from the infection and anchored our 4X800m relay team to a 2nd Place finish and a school record.

Thank you Jonah for channeling your inner Pre and delivering a gutsy performance for the team.
