CHANUTE — Iola Middle School’s Tayton Driskel has another record under his belt.
The Pony seventh-grader ran a school record 56.84 seconds to win the 400-meter dash Tuesday at the Royster Rocket Invitational.
Driskel’s time bettered Luke Snavely’s seventh-grade mark of 57.1 seconds from 2002, IMS track coach Terry Lower said.
This is the second record Driskel has accumulated in as many weeks. He set an IMS Invitational record the week prior in the long jump of 17 feet, 8 inches. Hunter Pankey of Burlington held the old mark of 17’2”.
