Multiple school records broken at Arcadia Invitational
TEMPLETON — Templeton High School’s girls track and field team made school history at the 2025 Arcadia Invitational, held April 11–12, where it competed against some of the nation’s best athletes at the largest high school track meet in the country.
The girls’ 4×800-meter relay team — composed of Kellen Sims, Bradee Breckenridge, Frannie Perry, and Keani Neuhs, with Naomi Julian as alternate — ran in the Friday night Invitational section. The team clocked a new school record and personal best of 9:22.74.
In Saturday’s open competition, three Templeton runners competed individually:
- Frannie Perry in the mile
- Keani Neuhs in the 800 meters
- Kennedy McAdoo in the 400 meters
McAdoo delivered a standout performance with a personal record of 57.19 seconds — setting a new school record in the process. Templeton’s 4×100-meter relay team of Kate Nicholson, Ruby Boland, Lily Bell, and McAdoo qualified as alternates.
In one of the weekend’s most exciting moments, Nicholson, Sims, Neuhs, and McAdoo competed in the final heat of the 4×400-meter relay. Starting from lane 9, the team surged ahead to win their heat and finish third overall. Their time of 3:56.50 set yet another school record and personal best, earning them medals and a prestigious invitation to the Nike Outdoor Nationals in June.
The team is coached by Don Crow, whose leadership continues to elevate Templeton track and field to elite competition levels.
