Worth County's girls needed to beat Jefferson in the 4x400, the final event of the day at Stanberry, in order to get their second meet win of the day. They were at 70 points, to 68 for Jefferson. A win for Jefferson would have secured at least a tie for the Eagles, who are cooping in track with South Nodaway. Worth County got off to an early lead against Jefferson, only for Meaghan McConkey of Jefferson to catch Aubrey Ragan on the final turn of the third leg. However, Ragan found her second wind and stayed close enough to keep it a race going into the final handoff. Sydney Thummel, who is normally a sprinter, took the handoff, passed Mallory McConkey, and held her off to secure her team's victory at the Bulldog Relays Tuesday night before collapsing at the finish line; she had given everything she had. Worth County's girls won the meet with 80 points, to 76 for Jefferson and 67 for Stanberry. The team knocked 30 seconds off its previous best time to win the event and the meet.
Brevyn Ross knocked three tenths of a second off his time in the 300 Hurdles to beat Dustin Ellis of Stanberry for the first time this year. Ross and Ellis were neck and neck throughout the race, but Ellis leaned prematurely at the finish line, which allowed Brevyn Ross to claim the victory at the end. Ross won with a time of 41.8 to Ellis' 41.9. Ross was beaten by Ellis in the 110 Hurdles, but timed his forward lean perfectly at the finish to edge out Duncan Owens of DeKalb to secure second with a time of 16.5 seconds, knocking almost half a second off his time in that event. Josh Warner set another personal best in the discus, raising his mark to 166'5". Warner also continued to win the Shot Put, getting 49'1/2". That showed that his 51-foot performance at Worth County last week was no accident.
North Andrew ran away with the boys meet, winning first with 104 team points. Albany and Stanberry followed with 69, and Worth County got fourth with 57 points.
Both girls sprint relay teams won as well; Worth County's girls won three different sprint relay races on the afternoon. The 4x100 got a narrow lead over Albany by the second leg which stood up the rest of the race as Payton Adwell brought things home for the Tigers; the Tigers got a time of 53.6, knocking over a second off their previous best time. In the 4x200, the Tigers maintained a slim lead until the third leg, in which a really good handoff put them way out in front; the cruised home with the three second victory over North Andrew and King City. They finished with a time of 1:52.7, about 2.4 seconds better than their previous best time.
Hailey Craig of North Harrison beat out Kaitlyn Davidson in the Discus as Davidson was second with a throw of 97'3. However, Davidson turned around and beat Craig for the first time all year, beating her in the shot put with a throw of 38'2", beating out Craig's throw of 36'2". Davidson improved her best time of the year by almost two feet.
Payton Adwell knocked off a tenth of a second off her personal best time in the 100 and won it with a time of 13.5 seconds to 13.7 for Sarah Poppa of Albany. Sydney Thummel was third in the 200, getting a time of 28.6. Aubrey Ragan got her best showing in the 100 hurdles this year, placing third with a time of 19.3. Kristen Ross was fourth in the 300 Hurdles with a time of 59.2. Alysa Lyle was third in the High Jump with a jump of 4'8".
Ben Badell got his best showing of the year in the 200, placing second with a time of 24.8, a personal best. Lucas Caddenhead was fifth in the 400 with a personal best time of 58.6. The 4x100 Relay Team of Chris Alarcon, Lucas Caddenhead, Ryan McClellan, and Ben Badell was 5th with a time of 49.6. The 4x200 Relay Team of Ben Badell, Chris Alarcon, Jayden Jilek, and Brevyn Ross was third and shaved almost four seconds off their time with a time of 1:39.1. The 4x400 Team of Ben Badell, Jayden Jilek, Lucas Caddenhead, and Brevyn Ross was 5th with a time of 4:01.
