“I would like to congratulate the Rich Hill High School boys track and field team for winning the Class 1 State championship. As a former track runner and track and field coach, I am thrilled to have a school in my district take home the State championship. This truly is a feat due in no small part to the hard work and talent of the team and its leadership. A Class 1 State record was also broken during the State competition. Rich Hill, sophomore, Clifton Bridgewater, threw 177 feet to win the boys javelin competition, breaking the previous record of 169 feet set last season. The outstanding performances by these Tigers mark a great milestone for Rich Hill High School, and I would like to ask all Missourians to join me in congratulating these Tiger teammates on this momentous achievement. ____________________”
