Kristen Ross Breaks 14 Second Barrier in Hurdles at Junior High Tiger Relays

Kristen Ross set a personal best and broke the 14 second barrier to lead the Worth County Tigers in the Junior High Relays Thursday. She needed every bit of it as she won the event with a time of 13.93 and beat out Tarkio's Shelby McCartney by two hundredths of a second in the closest race of the afternoon.

The girls were third in a tough field that featured perennial track powerhouse Rock Port, who won with 91 points. South Nodaway, with a pair of twins who dominated the distance events, was second with 69 points. Worth County was third with 53.5 points, but got some good performances. The girls beat out a Mercer squad that had given them a run for their money in Albany and beat out a North Nodaway squad that had beaten them at the Early Bird. The boys were seventh with 28 team points.

Aubrey Staton placed in both throwing events. She was 6th in the Shot Put with a throw of 28'8 and was 2nd in the Discus with a throw of 70'1".

The girls placed two in the Pole Vault. Dominique Findley and Sidney Troutwine tied for third in the event with a vault of 5'6".

The boys finally got on the board in the Pole Vault as they placed two in that event. Lucas Caddenhead was 2nd with a vault of 8 feet. Will Engel was 4th with a vault of 6 feet.

Kristen Ross was third in the Long Jump with a leap of 13'6 1/2".

Grace Schottel continued to showcase her versatility. She was third in the 100 with a time of 14.51, .3 seconds behind Bailey Owens of Mercer. Then, she placed 5th in the 1600 but took several seconds off her previous personal best and 18 seconds off her Albany time to finish with a time of 6:16. Then, she ran on the 4x400, which finished second to Rock Port with a time of 4:57. They beat out a North Nodaway team that had beaten them earlier this year.  Other members of the 4x400 were Payton Adwell, Quinci Schottel, and Sidney Troutwine.
