The 1988-89 Track and Field Team was the first-ever to capture the Interstate Prep School League Championship in a full team effort that barely unseated the previous champion Western Reserve Academy by a mere 1.5 points. That incredible feat was preceded by a 13-2 regular season in which six Cougars tallied over 100 points. By the end of the season, 11 athletes joined Kiski’s All-Time Top-Ten ranks, including the four that blazed a new school record in the 4x100 relay. The Cougars smashed that seven-year-old mark by 0.8 seconds.
