Last Saturday, we took an opportunity to attend Troy University's Coach "O" Invitational Track Meet. Performing in his last collegiate meet, was former Luverne School standout Payton McGhee. Payton placed second with a time of 10.58. He also placed fourth in the men's 200-meters setting a season best with a time of 21.38. Also, former LHS student Ashley Hall performed well finishing 4th in the 100 meters with a time of 12.07 and 13th in the women's 200 meters with a time of 25.08. She is the Trojan's fastest female in the 100 meters.
The Trojans will have almost two weeks to prepare for the Sun Belt Conference Outdoor Championships on May 11-13 in Lafayette, Louisiana.
Payton will graduate this spring with a degree in marketing. It bears mentioning that he has served the Troy Track Team as chief recruiter over the past several years. Ashley is a junior and is majoring in business.
We are proud of all of our former graduates.
