Kindred Ballard Breaks Shotput Record as Track and Field Competes at the Armory

Last weekend, the Archmere indoor track team once again traveled to the New Balance Track and Field in New York to participate in the Annual US Air Force Hispanic Games at the Armory. Held over two days, teams from Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and Maryland competed against the country's top high school track and field athletes at the world's premier indoor track and field facility. Kindred Ballard ’26 broke the school record in the shot put with a throw of 36-5.5!
