The Gilman City Lady Hawks picked up where they left off in basketball, getting 50 team points, finishing fourth, and posting three first place finishes at the Worth County Early Bird Thursday.
Khloey Sperry was third in the 200 with a time of 29.03. She was fourth in the 400 with a time of 1:06.34.
Kelsey Sperry won the 800, running away with the event with a time of 2:41.44. It was the first time she had ever won the 800. She had Aniya Hardee (Bedford) on her tail much of the way, but pulled away for the win. Shelby Gibson was fourth with a personal best time of 3:03.40 on a day in which many athletes battled the wind all afternoon.
Avery Gregg won the 1600, running away with the event and beating Madeline Wilmes (Nodaway Valley) by nine seconds. Gregg got a time of 6:08.34.
The 4x800 team of Shelby Gibson, Kelsey Sperry, Avery Gregg, and Khloey Sperry won the event with a time of 11:01.84. Kelsey Sperry got a lot of separation from the rest of the field in the first leg. Khloey Sperry, running in the event for the first time ever, held her own and then Shelby Gibson put on a big burst of speed at the start of the third leg to give the Hawks some more separation before Avery Gregg took it home. The Hawks won the event by 18 seconds.
Khloey Sperry was locked in a tight battle with four other athletes in the High Jump. Finally, Baylie Busby (NEN) and Riley Ridge (Worth County) dropped out, setting up a three way battle between Sperry, Annabelle Gardner (Pattonsburg), and Sloane McClain (East Harrison). All three cleared the 1.55 barrier, but none of them could clear the 1.60 barrier, setting up a three way tie. Sloane McClain won the event as she had the fewest misses, followed by Gardner in second and Sperry in third.
