For the Mavericks, Luke Dark was named to the team after winning the state championship in the shot put. Vance Laster also received all-state honors after winning the state championship in the 3,200-meter run.

In Class AAA, Oak Ridge’s Mason Greenhalgh won the state championship in the 800-meter run in the Midstate and earned all-state honors from the TSWA. The sophomore won the school’s first state championship in any traditional sport in 11 years.

Greenhalgh also competes on Oak Ridge’s cross country and swim teams.
