DESTREHAN'S PHILLIP WRIGHT MOVES TO NO.2 AFTER '24 DEBUT AT QUALIFIER!
The speed was definitely on display at the LSU High School Qualifier on Saturday. Consider this, of the 12 fastest athletes in Louisiana...10 had their season best time at the meet. The event was won by Destrehan's Phillip Wright III in his season debut. He narrowly defeated Holy Cross' Krosse Johnson and John Ehret's Armani Cargo.
The fastest time in the state belongs to Warren Easton's Germain Smith-Mata, who concentrated on 400m at the Qualifier. Smith-Mata defeated Scotlandville's Ferzell Shepard, who is the LHSAA Class 5A defending state champion in the event. It was one of the closest races of the day.
