Highlights were the two first place finishes by novice Kainen Morgan and veteran Madi Williams as well as first place finishes by Shelby Sanders, Kaitlin Howard, Michael Williams, Gabby Bennett, Brian Snyder, Joey Hutchinson and Tyler Lyon.  Many students recorded personal bests and the overall camaraderie of the group was commendable as Argos BPA is only in its 3rd year and already matching the success of much bigger schools.
