Whitewater freshman Trey Simanton gets ready at his block during the 400 meter dash. His time was 49.94 seconds, which gave him seventh place.
The Whitewater Penguins boys track team took eighth in the Porcupine Invitational hosted by Nashua at Glasgow School.
Senior Jeret Warren placed third in the 800 meter run with a time of 2 minutes and 17.90 seconds.
"It went pretty good, I was only two seconds off of my personal best," Warren said.
His personal best in the 800 is 2:15, something Warren knows he can surpass.
"I need to get a faster start and start my kick a little sooner," Warren said.
Warren also recorded his best time this season in the 1600, posting a time of 4:59.20, which could mean that he is on pace to catch his personal best of 4:42.87 which he set at the 2014 Class C State Championship Meet.
Knowing he would be running the 3200 later, Warren knew what he had to do to place.
"I just gotta stay focused, keep my pace up and hopefully have a good kick at the end," Warren said.
Warren placed fifth in the 3200 with a time of 12:27.80.
