A new trend for our sport???

Kudos to Martin Luther King HS coach Brad Peters for an innovative new pride builder! You know how strikeout phenoms in baseball have fans putting up a "K" sign whenever a strikeout occurs? Well, Peters posts a "PR" (personal record) or "SR" (school record) sign on the team tent at Saturday's Adidas Meet of Champions Distance Classic. It works! King checked in with a stunning 45 PRs and 5 school records! Awesome! Complete Meet of Champions results below!
