ECHS track team racks up six wins in Selma

DJ Patrick grabbed wins in the long jump and triple jump to lead the Elmore County track team to a strong performance at the River Region Invitational in Selma last week. Patrick won the long jump with a distance of 21 feet, 5 inches before destroying the competition by more than five feet in the triple jump finals.

In the 200-meter dash, Patrick finished one one-hundredth of a second behind Wetumpka’s Terrance Thomas for his lone second-place finish of the day. Elmore County’s Reece Baker finished four-tenths of a second behind his teammate to finish fourth in the event.
