At the end of all three seasons of Capital City’s track and field program’s existence, the Cavaliers and Lady Cavaliers have come home from the Class 5 state track and field championships with a school first. The first girls individual champion was in the first year of the program, the first boys individual champion came last year. This year, they brought home the school’s first team state trophy.

Capital City High School sent off its seniors Friday during a commencement ceremony at its newly finished football stadium.

Last season, the Capital City Cavaliers were one team point from claiming the school’s first state trophy. Now, the Cavaliers are ready to try again.

The two-time champion doubled her gold. Kiara Strayhorn went two-for-two in finals Friday on Day 1 of the Class 5 track and field state championships at Adkins Stadium, making her a four-time state champion with a chance for two more today.

It will be a busy couple of days for Capital City. Kiara Strayhorn will be the busiest of all. Last year’s two-time state champion will try to defend her Class 5 titles in the long jump and 100-meter hurdles and will try to take the top spot in the high jump and 4x100-meter relay as well today during state track and field championships at Adkins Stadium.
