Handling the anchor position on relay teams for a high-powered girls track program isn t for everyone as an underclassman.
But so far Dawson Wright has been more than equal to the task for Evanston.
The speedy sophomore anchored not one - not two - but THREE Wildkit teams to victory on Saturday at the windswept St. Rita Invitational meet and helped the Kits pass an early season test in impressive fashion.

ETHS scored wins in the 400-meter, 800-meter and 1600-meter relay races and now owns the fastest time in the state of Illinois in all 3 races to date. Add a runnerup finish by the 3200 relay team and individual wins by Gabriella Calixte (300 hurdles) and Keira Tu (high jump) and the Wildkits earned a second place finish as a team in the 14-team field with 87 points, trailing only south suburban power Homewood-Flossmoor (166) and edging Whitney Young of Chicago (85).
