Kokomo Athletics

The Kokomo Wildkats made the trip to Lafayette Jeff last night, and competed in a talented regional! We took 14 athletes (2 alternates) to compete in 11 different events. We are a part of a stacked Regional, and we knew that going in. All of these boys didn’t let that get to them, and competed well amongst the talent. As a team, we finished 8th out of 27 teams. We are very proud of them!
