Ridgeland-Hardeeville’s track team will be well represented at Saturday’s Class AAA Lower State meet. After the Region 8-AAA meet last week at May River, RHHS’s boys 4 x 100-meter relay, girls 4 x 100-meter relay, girls 100 dash and girls 200 dash qualified for the meet at Bishop England. “I am very pleased about the effort that was given from both teams. I thought our young men and women left everything out on the track,” coach Jeremiah Faber said. “I am pleased with our accomplishments.” The girls relay won the region meet in 50.93 seconds. At the start of the season the relay team consisted of Lenasia Singletary, Kera Robinson, Timothea Green, and Que Drayton. Since then Green and Drayton have been replaced by Latrina Fadden and Zaria Wilson. Before the region meet, the current team had only run one race together — on April 15 at Colleton High School. “Singletary and Robinson are great sprinters, I know that,” Faber said. “But Latrina and Zaria, they’re no slouch. Those two ran great races for us. Those two young ladies have improved extemely.” Faber hopes the team can run about 49.5 and qualifies for the May 13 state meet. “I’ll be very disappointed if our girls relay does not qualify for state,” said Faber. “This week we’re going to spend some time working on the exchange. I think we can save some time there, and we’re going to try to improve our conditioning. And I want to emphasize to them to always run through your zone. I think improving on those things well help us qualify.” The boys relay team, who qualified for Lower State, ran a 47.30. Faber’s team consisted of Marquez Grant, Ronald Zimmerman, Zion Wilson, and Jordan Murray. He plans to switch Murray out with Emanuelle Hargrove; according to Faber it gives the relay a stronger finish and better shot at reaching the state meet. Singletary easily took home the region title in the 100- and 200- dashes, as anticipated by former coach Anthony Elam at the start of the season. She won the 100 dash in 13.02; Second place was Robinson in 13.17. Singletary’s winning 26.63 in the 200 was a dominant performance. Robinson was second in 27.43. “She’s (Singletary) definitely going to be challenged next week. I think her main approach just needs to be to stay focused,” said Faber. “I just tell her to eat well and to remain focused. She just needs to accept the challenge.”
