6A Girls

The Manhattan girls won as expected Saturday at Wichita State. But
the meet was much, much tighter than anyone expected, as Maize put up a
very tough fight. In the end, Manhattan won 76 to Maize's 74.5.
Hutchinson placed third with 47, and six time defending champ
Leavenworth finished fifth.
Manhattan was led by senior Julie Curtis, who won the 100H (14.48),
300H (44.45), placed sixth in the 200 (25.64) and anchored Manhattan's
4 x 400 to second to Hutchinson's 3:59.81, (Manhattan 4:00.87
Maize was led by Liz Kramer, who defended her 1600 title (5:05.15)
by kicking down 3200 winner Amy Hastings (Leavenworth) in the final
straightaway (Hastings 5:09.13). Earlier in the morning, Hastings had
run 10: 58.05 to edge SM South's Connie Abbot (11:00.26) for the 3200
crown.
Hutchinson's Morgan Bonds edged Olathe East sophomore Sarah Clay in
the homestretch for the 400 title (56.54 to 57.51) then headed for a big
800 showdown with Kramer and Hastings.
Run about five minutes after Trisha Nickoley's 2:10 had thrilled the
crown, the 6A runner's packed together through 500 meters, at which
point both Bonds and Kramer brought the crowd of 25,000 to their feet
with a huge move to the front. Blazing over the last 300 meters, Bonds
edged ahead over the last 20 yards to win 2:13.29 to Kramer's 2:13.80.
SM East's Kelly Marlarkey finished third at 2:19.26.
Sprint titles went to Wichita Southeast freshman Chrisdell Harris
(12.47) and Junction City's Dionna Williams (25.17). Blue Valley
Northwest ran away from a deep 4 x 800 field, winning in 9:34.32.
Good vertical jump marks were set by Nikki Polk (Wichita Southeast
5-6) and Whitney Fuller, winning on misses at 10-6 over Haysville
Campus's Roberta Hoaglun.
Jessica McFarland (Derby) got a big shot on Friday before the rains
came, winning at 42-6.5 over Lauren Hammel (Manhattan) 40-7.

5A

5A Boys

It took until the final event, but Liberal kept the streak alive! The
Liberal boys won their 13th straight 5A state title, despite a spirited
attack from fellow WAC rival Hays. Great Bend made it a western kansas sweep
in third.
Unlike past years, when the Redskins overwhelmed the field, Liberal won
this year with poise and depth. Kenny Wilson (22.15 200) and Ken Sherman
(45-9 TJ) were the only two Liberal individual champs.
Hays was led by PV champ Marcus Watts (14-0), who also placed second in
the LJ (22-.75 to Jeff Timmerman of Wichita Carroll's 22-3), and third in
the 400 (50.29 behind Topeka Seaman's Ryan Irvin at 49.22). Team mate Scott
Rome added a 1:56.59 800 victory.
Other highlights included Buhler's 7:54.81 4 x 800 win, with Hays
(7:56.04), Liberal (7:58.28) and Great Bend (8:01.30) close behind.
Salina South scored big in the field, with Noah Ahlvers winning the shot
at 58-9 over the 56-5 of Trent Olivier (Great Bend). South's Marc Roberts
also impressed with a 6-8 HJ win.
Blue Valley West's Paul Hefferon gave his first year school it's first
state champ with a 9:33.40 3200 win, while Pittsburg's Jimmy Holland (165-7)
claimed the discus over state leader Brady Maska (Hays, 159-4).

into the pressure, simply scoring where they were expected, to knock off
Liberal. McPherson edged Nickoley's Shawnee Heights team for third.
Keats won the 100H (14.77), TJ (38-7), LJ (18-6) and JT (139-6) to lead
the Mustangs to victory. Melissa Burns added a 10-0 PV for Central, while
Jessica Jones HJ'd 5-6 to place second behind McPherson's Rachael Stevens
(also 5-6).
Trish Gallegos led Liberal with a 43.68 300H win and also won the 200 at
25.98.
Nicoley (Topeka Shawnee Heights) simply dazzled the crowd of 25,000, first
winning the 1600 (5:10.68 ahead of Wichita Carroll's Amy Zeller at 5:12.13),
then winning the 400 at 56.35. But it was in the 800 the Nickoley really
brought everyone to their feet. Rampaging through a first 400 in 64,
Nickoley won by almost 10 seconds, running 2:10.49 in a completely solo
effort. She finished her evening anchoring Shawnee Heights to a 3:58.16 4 x
400 win.
Elle Pishney gave Blue Valley West a sweep of the 3200 crowns, with a solo
11:02.73 win, while Wichita Carroll won a 9:40.01 4 x 800 crown from Salina
South 9:48.30

4A Boys

Baldwin's boys once again took the state title behind a Matt Noonan distance triple. Baldwin scored 73 points, while Lansing and Towanda-Circle scored 40 to tie for second.
Noonan won the 3200 and 1600 and placed second in the 800 to team mate Erick Black. In the 3200 Noonan moved late to run 9:33.90, edging Clay Center's Joe Moore (9:34.26). Using the same strategy in the 1600, Noonan again edged Moore (4:24.29 to 4:25.20.) In the 800, Noonan went out hard, then was passed at the 500 mark by Black. Black opened up down the homestretch to win in 1:56.89 to Noonan's 1:58.30). Baldwin also went 1-2 in the javelin with Eric Brown (197-0) and Hugh Murphy (195-7).
Ft. Scott's Kyle Lancaster had the best individual mark of the six division meet, holding the 25,000 fans spellbound with a 7-0 HJ win, then three close attempts at a 4A record 7-2, rolling the bar off the last time with his ankles.
Wellington's Tim Lira swept the short sprints, running 10.73 and 22.07, while Towanda-Circle's Justin Alexander ran 48.34 in the 400 to defeat Lansing's Ryan Slater (49.00, with Lira third at 49.55). Chanute's Jacob Williams impressed with a 15-0 PV win.

A big shot competition saw fine marks and depth with Beloit's 57-9.5 to out toss Kale Katt (Holcomb 57-1.5) and discus champ Stadel (53-6).
Oakley's Brent Robben won the 110H (14.78), placed second in the HJ (6-6 to lose on misses to Belle Plaines Zach Woods), but brought the crowd to feet in his 300H race where he didn't place. Running in the first section (rain on Friday forced timed section finals, Robbens hit the first hurdle hard, rolled flat onto the track, then proceeded to get up and run somewhere in the 41.5 range (official times not yet posted at this writing), making up an entire flight of hurdle's on the field, placing about 3rd in his heat. While not a medal winning race, it was certainly indicitive of the effort that the Kansas state meet is all about.

A torrential Friday thunderstorm forced all finals to be contested on Saturday, making the 3A girls team title an endurance contest. Lakin's sprinters outscored Riley County's distance runners to win the team title, with defending champ Conway Springs close behind in third.

Mortimer's toughest race was the 800, where she fought off a tough homestretch challenge from rival Amy VanGundy (Northern Heights) to win in 2:19.03 to VanGundy's 2:19.66.
Southwestern Height's continued the distance excitement with a fine 9:54.69 4 x 800 win.
Conway Springs' Katy Gardenhire contributed 10-0 PV, 16-9.75 LJ wins.
Deep, tough throws competitions saw wins from Laura Priest (Sabetha 41-.75 SP) and Olivia Korte (Nemaha Valley 130-2 DT.
