CCCHS senior, Jace Weller, overtook a 70-year school record by finishing the 200-meter run in 21.78 seconds. The record was previous set in 1955 by Bill Tillman.
In the same meet, Weller took his PR in the 100-meter race when he broke 11 seconds, finishing in 10.82 seconds. The current record of 10.8 seconds was set by Jake Richter in 2003. Coaches are also investigating times to compare the difference between Richter’s hand time, which may have been faster than what he was credited for, vs. Weller’s electronic stat.
Weller also holds the school record for the 400-meter, breaking his own 2024 record by hitting 48.85 seconds earlier this month.
Bill Tillman was a three-year letter winner who graduated in 1955. He broke records in high and low hurdles. His 220-yard record had been standing since 1932. He ran the 100-yard dash (91.44 meters) in 10.1 seconds. Once in a dual meet, he finished in 9.75, but the time went undocumented due to high winds working in his favor.
