The Calvary Day 4x100 team (from L-R) Hephzibah Wilson, Julianna Kitchen, Sa’Nai Williams and Makayla Modicue set a school record of 56.2 to win at the Savannah Country Day Track and Field Meet #6 on April 15, 2026.
Richmond Hill's boys and girls teams will be in contention for podium finishes.
On the boys side, senior Kendrick Joshua leads the way. The University of Georgia commit has seen the new UGA facility, but this will be his first time competing at his future home. In the sectional qualifying meet, Kendrick set a Georgia state record in the 300 meter hurdles with a time of 35.60, a mark that ranks third in the nation this season.
Joshua is also competing in the long jump this season, and qualified for state at sectionals with a personal best mark of 24-8.5, the best in Georgia this season across all classifications. He is also set to anchor the Wildcat 4X400 relay team that has the second best time in Class 6A this year at 3:16.65, trailing Westlake's 3:14.66. A false start in the 100 meters prevented Joshua from competing in four events at state.
"I knew we were running on a fast track and I wanted to go all out to make sure I didn't end up with a bad lane at state so I put it all out there," Joshua said. "I didn't know it was a state record until they announced it and I got pretty hyped — I was screaming and jumping around the track. They said it was a record from 2008, but I'm not sure who ran it."
The record he broke was the time of 35.68 set by former McEachern High star William Wynne, who went on to become a two-time All-American at the University of Florida.
"I'm excited about the state meet — I want to go out and win the hurdles and long jump and help our team win the (4x400) relay," Joshua said.

The squad features freshman standout Trinity Perine, Maleah Pritchett, a star hurdler, distance standout Chloe Miller and Kinley Gibson. The girls 4x800 relay squad enters with the No. 2 time at 9:31.63.
