A Eureka High School junior broke a record on the track that was more than seven decades old.

 

Peyton Hare ran a time of 22.27 seconds in the 200m at the El Dorado Invitational to break the school record set back in 1952.

 

Hare has been one of the best runners in the state in the event, with his most recent time placing him second fastest in 2A, just behind Aston Gratton of Pleasonton with a time of 22.22 seconds.

 

Peyton and the Tornados compete tomorrow in the Humboldt Invitational, before the Class 2A State meet later this month.
