Nicole S. won her 2nd consecutive STATE TITLE in the Girls High Jump beating out 17 other extremely talented high jumpers from around the state of Florida in one of the last events of the evening. Nicole cleared the bar at 5 feet, 3 and 3 quarter inches to bring back to Bell the gold medal!
Corbin A. also represented Bell by throwing the discus at 121 feet. Corbin was the only 8th grader in a group of mostly junior and senior throwers and even though he did not place in the top 8, he did an amazing job of competing in his event that was also delayed by several hours due to weather.
Our student athletes did a phenomenal job at the state level and we are so proud of them!
