He ran as a finalist later on Saturday. After this, Reid Sprague competed in the boys triple jump, placing fifth overall with a new personal record jump of 42’. 

The next event that Holyoke competed in was the boys 4x200m relay. Sophomores Trey Oakley, Reid Sprague, Juniors Cash Weber, and Bryson Dirks ran to place among the finalists.
