Jayliegh Robins Wins Twice at Worth County

Jayliegh Robins won twice at the Junior High Tiger Relays for North Harrison Thursday, taking first in both the 200 and the 400 as she continued her rapid improvement in those two events. North Harrison finished the event with 26 team points.

In a thrilling race in the 200, Robins held off Kayley Hauber (Platte Valley), knocked another second off her time in that event from the HDC meet, and won with a time of 28.42. She beat out Hauber much more easily in the 400, winning by almost three seconds and knocking 1.5 seconds off her time to win by 1:04.42.

By way of comparison, Robins, only in 7th grade, would have finished second in the high school Cardinal Relays, held the same day in similar weather and conditions, with only standout Grace Schottel (King City), who has won nearly all of her events in the 100, 200, and 400, ahead of her.

The 4x100 team of Jayliegh Robins, Deva Wallace, Halle Morgan, and Camden Castleberry knocked .7 of a second off their best time and got fifth with a time of 59.65. Halle Morgan was fifth in the Triple Jump with a jump of 27’3”. Deva Wallace got a personal best in the Shot Put and took fifth with a throw of 30’6”.
