Track and Field 2022 (Braden)

 Braden has expressed interest in Track and Field, but never had the confidence to give it a real shot until we got here.  The Athletics program at ISB is extremely welcoming and the coaches did a great job of encouraging Braden to try new things. During the season, he competed in two competitive meets. The first was a dual meet against one other school, NIST.  During this meet, Braden competed in 4 events (High Jump, 100M Hurdles, 200M Dash, and 100M Dash).  He finished 6th, 3rd, 4th, and 4th respectively. 

By placing 3rd overall in one of the events and at least 3rd of ISB athletes in 2 other events, Braden qualified to represent ISB at the Bangkok Metropolitan Athletic Conference (BMAC) meet on 26 Mar. There were athletes from 6 schools participating in the meet. One of the requirements was the athletes needed to compete in at least 3 events and they needed to do both track and field; either 2 track and 1 field or 2 field and 1 track event.  The coaches decided that Braden should give Discus a try for his field event and then put him in the 400M Dash and 100M Hurdles for his track events.

Braden finished 2nd overall for Discus, 2nd overall in the 400M Dash and 3rd overall in the 100M Hurdles.
