DU QUOIN — Often you will hear the phrase “total team effort” when it comes to success in sports. The Du Quoin Indians will vouch for that approach after qualifying individuals or relays for state in 14 of 18 events to win their own 1A boys track and field sectional.

The Indians cruised to the team title with Pinckneyville second and Nashville third. Indians’ senior Gavin Fisher was one of two double winners on day, winning both the 110 and 300 hurdles.

Goreville senior Cole Rushing was the other individual to win multiple events, when he won the 100 and the 200.

Pinckneyville won three of the four relays. The Indians won the 4×400 to close the day, after finished second to the Panther in the other relays.
