TRACK & FIELD

Brentwood High's Jake Lazas (Class AAA) and Brentwood Academy's Josh Davies (Division II) are trying to follow in the footsteps of their brothers, Kevin Lazas and Ben Davies, who won state decathlon titles. Lazas and BHS sophomore Eric Hoff are 1-2 going into the final day of the decathlon Tuesday at MTSU's Dean Smith Track and Field Stadium. Lady Bruins junior Holly Van Grinsven was third in the Class AAA girls' pentathlon on Monday.

Brentwood, Ravenwood and BA all qualified several athletes in the track and field meet Wednesday-Friday at MTSU. Bruins senior thrower Steve Wade is the defending state shot put champ and recently broke a discus record set by current pro football player Michael Oher of Blind Side fame.

BA senior Bryson Lillard will be shooting for his third straight double-championship in the 110 and 300 hurdles.  BHS is the defending AAA boys state champ and won both regional team titles, while BA broke seven meet records in capturing the II-AA regionals in girls and boys.
