Last year, the Capital City Lady Cavaliers got their first state champion. This year, it was the Cavaliers’ turn. Keion Grieve entered Adkins Stadium for the Class 5 track and field state championships with the fastest time in the 800-meter run this season. He made good on that seeding.
It will be a busy couple of days for Capital City. Kiara Strayhorn will be the busiest of all. Last year’s two-time state champion will try to defend her Class 5 titles in the long jump and 100-meter hurdles and will try to take the top spot in the high jump and 4x100-meter relay as well today during state track and field championships at Adkins Stadium.
Last season, the Capital City Cavaliers got their first individual medals in track and field. Now in their second season, they are looking for a team plaque.
