Track and Field Athletes Still Competing! Iyer Qualifies for Junior Olympics, Dunaway Leaps Into First Decathlon

It’s summer break for Harker students, but two Eagle athletes are still competing at a high level.

This past season, Niki Iyer, grade 12, was the WBAL and CCS champion in the 3200-meter run, before finishing third in state. This past week she added another title to her impressive resume. On Saturday, Iyer won the Junior Olympic 17-18-year-old 3000m in Sacramento. The win qualifies her for the National Junior Olympic Track & Field Championships in July, also in Sacramento. Congrats and good luck, Niki!

Davis Dunaway, grade 12, was a WBAL champion in the pole vault and finished second in the 300m hurdles to earn a ticket to CCS last year. This weekend he will compete in his first decathlon. Dunaway will participate in the 100m, 110m hurdles, 400m, 1500m, shotput, high jump, long jump, discus, pole vault and javelin. Good luck, Davis!

Go Eagles!
