The future Tar Heel has been steady and DOMINANT in the 1600m and 3200m. She has broken her own school record in the 1600m 3 times this year and has been churning out sub 5 minute performances the past three meets she has ran it. She has again qualified for state in the 1600m and 3200m runs and will be in a heated battle with the best top end field of distance in the entire state for 5A supremacy this weekend at Cessna!
Girl's Co-Track Athlete of the week
Kaylie Shultz, Fr. Distance
There is zero debate about who the premier freshman distance athlete is in Kansas Girl's T&F. The 3 event state qualifier and NEW SCHOOL RECORD HOLDER in the 800m Run has a dominating lead on any other freshman Kansas girl in the 800m, 1600m, and 3200m. But she isn't just a hammer in regards to being a freshman, she also is top 10 in the three distance events across all classes and grades in Kansas. Incredible season so far Kaylie!
Girl's Field Athlete of the week
Allison Robinett, So. Throws
Allison has been our top thrower all season in the discus and javelin while also competing in scoring in shotput as well. She threw a PR of 35' 7.5 in the shotput to barely miss qualification to state. She missed qualifying in discus by a few feet but put her best foot forward in the most difficult girl's discus regional field across all classes in KS. We can't wait to see what she brings as a junior in 2025.
Boy's Track Athlete of the week
Brady Hemmer, Jr. Hurdles
Brady has been scoring in the 110m and 300m hurdle races all season long. One of the top point scorers for the Mustangs this season, Brady set a PR at league in the 110's and will make a return trip to Cessna this week after qualifying last week at Great Bend. Hoping for a big PR and a medal for Brady!
Boy's Field Athlete of the week
Gage Gibson, Jr. Discus
Gage has quietly put together a really great season for the Mustangs in the Discus. He got a big throw in when it mattered at regionals to advance him to finals and on to state. We know his best throw is not only ahead of him, but is coming SOON!
