After weeks of qualifying meets around the state, Richmond senior Jacob Lindahl was the lone representative for Wayne County schools in the large-school division at the Hoosier State Relays Indoor Track and Field meet.

The meet, which culminates the indoor track season, was held at the Indiana State Fairground Pavilion on Saturday, March 28.   

Lindahl delivered a career-best performance in the shot put with a toss of 59 feet, 1.5 inches, falling just .75 inches short of the state championship. The state champion was Kaleb Rasheed from Avon High School, with a toss of 59 feet, 2.25 inches.
