Kristen Tracy was sixth in the Shot Put with a throw of 26’11½”. She was second in the discus with a throw of 69’11”. Worth County may have found a new thrower, as she tried it out for the first time the meet before in Stanberry. She improved on her Stanberry throw by 10 feet.

The 4x100 team was third with a time of 53.64. That time was a personal best. The 4x200 team was fifth with a time of 1:55.86. They were searching for consistency all year, but got a personal best, beating their old time by two seconds.

Blair Nelson got Northeast Nodaway’s first event win all year as she won the High Jump with a personal best height of 4’7”; she showed that she is coming for Baylie Busby, Taryn Farnan, and Michelle Schulte in that event. Bristol Hicks was fifth with a height of 4’3¼. Baylie has been helping Nelson and Hicks out a lot in the high jump pit in practice, and it is starting to pay off. 

Blair Nelson could not quite make lightning in a bottle strike twice as she was a close second in the Long Jump with a personal best time of 13’6¼”. She has been tantalizingly close in the Long Jump to taking first all year. The irony of it is that her mother, Tera (Pride) Nelson, had a coach who swore she couldn’t jump and placed a piece of paper on the floor and had her try to jump higher than it to prove it. Georgia Taylor got a personal best with a jump of 10’8¾”.

Brianna Meyer was third in the Shot Put with a throw of 30’5¼”. That was a personal best by three feet; the Bluejays may have just found a new thrower. 

For the boys, the Bluejays placed two in the 100. Reece Gray was fifth with a time of 13.22, while Jude Archer was sixth with a time of 13.34. Gray was sixth in the 200 with a time of 27.24, close to a personal best. Archer was third in the 400 with a time of 1:01.16, a personal best.
