The Shamrocks placed two in the 100 Hurdles. Erica Gerken was fifth with a time of 18.64. Kira Robertson got a personal best in the prelims with a time of 20.82 and then finished eighth with a time of 21.27. Kira Robertson was seventh in the Long Jump with a jump of 13’10½”. That mark was a personal best. Lily Shovick got a personal best in the Javelin with a throw of 74’6”. 

For the boys, Griffin Dougherty got a season best in the 100 with a time of 14.31. Noah Brashears was seventh in the 110 Hurdles with a personal best time of 19.64, saving his best for last. 

The 4x200 team of Tyson Gibson, Evan Schreiber, Noah Breshears, and Kolton Graham got a personal best and came tantalizingly close to qualifying, getting fifth with a time of 1:42.16. That was .34 of a second off the qualifying mark. 

Tyson Gibson qualified in two events. The first was when he qualified in the High Jump with a height of 5’8”. The second was when he won the Triple Jump with a jump of 42’11¾”. His numbers had been tailing off since the middle of the season, but he found his second wind in time for districts. 

Dillon Hartschen got a personal best in the Shot Put with a throw of 30’11”. Kolton Graham got a personal best in the Javelin with a throw of 106’3”.
