Tiger Boys Second at Districts

Worth County's boys finished second at Districts with 88 points, which was 10 points behind Stanberry. They were part of a three-way dogfight for first place as Rock Port was third with 81 points. Mound City was fourth with 64 points and Craig 5th with 61 points.

The Tigers finished 1-3 in the Pole Vault as Zach Harmening won with a leap of 11'6". Harmening elected to go for 12'6 after winning the event, nearly clearing it before knocking down the bar on his way down on one of his jumps. Alex Harmening was third with a jump of 10'6". Worth County then went 2-4 in the Long Jump. Eli Mullock was second in the event with a jump of 18'11.5", which was good enough for second place in the windy conditions. Grant Parman was 4th with a jump of 18'1.25". Both of them will be back and provide the Tiger boys with a steady punch in that event. Zach Harmening narrowly missed qualifying in the Triple Jump as his leap of 37'0.75" was three quarters of an inch behind the fourth place finisher.

Qualifying in the Discus was Brian Hall with a throw of 126'11", which was good enough for second place. Dallas Greenland added a 6th place finish with a throw of 110'10". Hall also qualified in the Shot Put with a throw of 41'6", which was good enough for third place.

The 4x800 Relay Team of Mitch Andrews, Jordan Harding, Dakota Owsley, and Bryce Ross qualified with a second place finish of 9:12.29, which was 12 seconds behind Stanberry. Eli Mullock won the 100 with a run of 11.25; this was four tenths of a second ahead of Mound City's Gage Rosier. Barrett Baker was 6th with a time of 12.12. Mitchell Andrews, after nursing an injury through much of the stretch run of the track season, came back to qualify for the 1600 with a 4th place finish with a time of 5:10.90. The 4x100 Relay Team of Barrett Baker, Dallas Greenland, Alex Harmening, and Bryce Ross was the second relay team to qualify for the Worth County boys with a 4th place finish and a time of 47.62.

Jordan Harding ran one of his best times of the year in the 800 and qualified for it with a time of 2:11.62. That was good enough for 4th place and a trip to sectionals. Eli Mullock punched his ticket to Albany with a win in the 200, beating Mound City's Gage Rosier by 27 hundreths of a second with a time of 23.52. Levi Kalal missed qualifying in the 3200, but still finished with one of his best times of the year with a run of 11:53. The 4x400 team of Mitch Andrews, Jordan Harding, Zach Harmening, and Ryan Smith missed qualifying, finishing 6th with a time of 3:59.00.

On the girls side, Chelsea Ebrus qualified in the Pole Vault with a leap of 7'6", which was good enough for fourth place. That was her best jump of the year. Both Lauren Null and Ebrus had been trying to break the seven foot barrier all year; Null did so at the GRC Meet and nearly cleared 8 feet; it was Ebrus' turn to break the 7-foot barrier Saturday. Brooke Gilland and Jessica Garrett finished 3-4 in the 100 Hurdles as both of them qualified for sectionals. Gilland ran for a time of 17.38 while Garrett finished with a time of 17.45. Both of them will be back next year.

Lauren Null was 6th in the 1600 in a tough field as she did not qualify for the event; she ran for a time of 6:36.34. But the 4x100 relay team of Chelsea Ebrus, Jessica Garrett, Kiley Reynolds, and Brooke Gilland qualified by finishing fourth with a time of 56.40 in the event.
