Sweet Home’s track and field team finished second to the Junction City boys and third behind Junction City and Sisters on the girls side in a meet at the Tigers’ track Thursday, April 16.
“It was kind of a flat meet,” Coach Billy Snow said. “We’ve been working the kids pretty hard. They had just come off four meets in nine days. They were tired.”
Some, though, were fresh enough to post some lifetime bests.
Junior Sarah Dunkley broke 14 seconds for the first time to place third in the 100 (13.99) and Josie Knight was just four inches off the PR she set in the shot at the Meet of Champions, less than a week before, to win that event.
Freshman Bethany Gingerich (2:45.74) and Senior Jessica Stockman (2.50.60) went one-two in the 800, both with lifetime bests, and freshman Cora McKee posted a PR in the 300 hurdles.
Snow said he’s excited about the progress he’s seeing, particularly in the short relay, in which the Husky girls have improved nearly every race.
On the boys side, junior Matt Davis finished the 100 in a lifetime best of 12.14, “a really good time,” Snow said.
Sophomore Trey Reed won the 400 in his fastest time of the year (52.72) and came back for another season’s best in the anchor leg of the 4×400 relay.
“It’s nice to see Trey run well again,” Snow said.
Junior Egan Shamek turned some heads in the 4×400 relay as well, running 54.90 for the second-fastest split in that race, behind Reed, of the year.
Sophomore Andre Holmes led a 1-2-3 sweep of the shot for Sweet Home and was second in the discus.
“Andre is getting better, little by little, in the discus,” Snow noted.
Sophomore Dillon Stutzman broke 140 feet in the javelin for the first time, to win that event, bettering his lifetime best for the fourth time this season.
“Dillon is coming on like gangbusters in the jav,” Snow said.
The Huskies will host Elmira and Cottage Grove Thursday at 4 p.m. for their second home meet of the season.
