| Brandon Walker and Brandon Burrier make a handoff during the Warriors win over Canton South last Tuesday. |
The Carrollton boys track team recorded a huge win over visiting Canton South last Tuesday night 80-48.
“It was a good win for us against Canton South,” said head coach Larry Cogan. “Canton South has great competitors and great teams year in and year out.”
Brandon Burrier recorded four firsts for the Warriors.
Burrier won the 100 (11.7) and 200 (23.8) meter dashes and was a member of the winning 800-meter relay team of Dan Irwin, Brandon Walker and Bryant Harris that finished with a time of 1:38, and the 1,600-meter relay team of Walker, Brian Myer and Smith that finished with a time of 3:58.
“He (Burrier) had a real good meet,” Cogan said. “He has really improved his strength and speed this spring. He ran cross country last fall and I think that has helped his stamina and strength.”
