Raines Returns Atop The Bob Hayes Track & Field Invitational (2021)

As Covid-19 spread throughout the world a year ago, many high school athletes were uncertain if they’d ever get the opportunity to compete in Track & Field events again. The 55th annual Bob Hayes Track & Field Invitational was cancelled last year. Yet just a year later, many of those same athletes who put their dreams on hold, were afforded the opportunity to hoist trophies and go for the gold in 2021.

Fittingly, it would be the Raines Boys Track & Field Team to win the overall 2021 Bob Hayes Track And Field Invitational. The last event featured the Boys 4×400 relay in which Quincy Burroughs (junior), Kareem Burke (junior), Jaquon King (junior), and Kenton Kirkland (sophomore) brought home the gold and the Trophy where bullet Bob Hayes attended high school ( Matthew Gilbert). Their first overall team title since 1995.
