Trinity High School’s track team placed fourth in the state in the men’s 4 x 400 meter relay.

The North Carolina High School Athletic Association’s state 2-A track and field championships were held May 15, at North Carolina A&T State University.

Coach Alex Mebane was proud of his team for making it to the state level. “This is the first time any athletes from THS have qualified since 2005,” he said.

The Bulldog relay team — Luis Proano, Ron Griffin, Caden Pope and Mario McInnis — ran for a time of 3:28.95.

All are seniors. Pope plans to run track at Appalachian State University and Proano plans to run at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Griffin will play football at Appalachian and McInnis will play football at Ferrum College in Virginia.
