Austin Peay Governors High School Classic track and field meet was held Saturday
Austin Peay State University | Clarksville TN
Clarksville, TN – On Saturday, April 14th, the Austin Peay Track and Field team hosted their annual APSU Governors High School Classic at Governors Stadium. High School teams began arriving at 9:30am with the first event starting at 10:00am sharp. The event lasted all day. The awards ceremony was at 6:00pm.
“The APSU High School Classic that was started six years ago as a fund raiser for the Austin Peay Track and Field team.” said APSU Track and Field head coach Doug Molnar. “We wanted to start a Track and Field event for Montgomery County Schools that would be the jewel event of the year.”
West Creek High School won first place amongst the Boy's Teams.
“We had 15 highly competitive teams in this years event” stated Molnar. “Normally we would have between 20 to 25 teams competing in our event, but this year schedules aligned so that two other track meets were going on at the same time.”

The events at this years event were: 100m Dash, 200m Dash, 400m Dash, 800m Run, 1,600m Run, 3,200m Run, 110m Hurdles, 300m Low Hurdles, 2,000m Steeplechase (Boys), 1,500m Steeplechase (Girls), 4 x 100m Relay, 4 x 200m Relay, 4 x 400m Relay, 4 x 800m Relay, High Jump, Pole Vault, Long Jump, Triple Jump, Shot Put, and Discus Throw.
Events went off like clockwork. Once one heat was completed, the next set of competitors were being readied for the next heat while competitors for the next event were being called in.

At some Track and Field events, there can be 10 minute delays between heats, 15-20 minutes between events. This was not the case with Austin Peay’s meet. Heats were constantly going. Next events were quickly setup. Even hurdles, normally the longest to setup was done quickly and efficiently. The result was a meet with something constantly going on without any real down times.
“I believe this year was one of the better run meets that we have done” said Molnar. “I want to give congratulations and thanks to the members of the APSU Track and Field team that came out to help today along with all the other volunteers. Job well done.”
