ALL-METRO OUTDOOR TRACK TEAM

Brandon Thomas '16 was honored as the All-Metro track athlete of the year Tuesday, the first in St. Christopher's history. The award has been in existence for 14 years.

Thomas, headed to Virginia Tech, led the Richmond-area in the 200-meter dash (21.44), 400 (47.45) and long jump (23-5 1/2). Each of those performances are school records.

He was a multiple-time Prep League and state VISAA champion. Thomas also had the fifth-best 100 (10.88) in the area.

In the winter, Thomas narrowly missed the award after leading in five events, three individual and two relays.

Several other Saints made the All-Metro Rankings:

- Tazle Sumpter '16: Shot Put, 54-1 1/2 (2nd); Discus, 149-6 (4th)
