We then traveled to Lakeview on Friday for the Lakeview Invitational. Despite a weather delay, our student-athletes spent 10+ hours leaving it all on the track. Due to the size of the meet, competing schools were split into three divisions. Both our boys and girls teams finished third overall in their respective divisions, narrowly missing a trophy. The top six in each individual event and top three in each relay earned medals. Shoutout to James Rodriguez (100m, Long Jump) and Josh Arganbright (110m Hurdles), who placed first overall across all divisions. The following athletes earned medals in our division: Josh Arganbright – 1st in 110m Hurdles, 2nd in 300m Hurdles, 2nd in 4x100m Relay, 6th in Pole Vault James Rodriguez – 1st in 100m Dash, 2nd in 4x100m Relay, 1st in 200m Dash, 1st in Long Jump Gabe Kauffman – 6th in 100m Dash, 2nd in 4x100m Relay Tuff Rood – 2nd in 4x100m Relay, 3rd in Pole Vault, 5th in Long Jump Jareth Shappee – 3rd in 400m Dash, 3rd in Discus Gavin Aldrich – 6th in Discus Bryce Willis – 2nd in High Jump Saralynn Shelley – 3rd in 4x800m Relay, 6th in 800m Run, 6th in High Jump Kirstyn Cummings – 3rd in 4x800m Relay, 4th in 1600m Run Ryann Ball – 3rd in 4x800m Relay, 4th in 3200m Run Braleigh Fulk – 3rd in 4x800m Relay, 4th in 800m Run, 4th in High Jump Lexi Curtiss – 3rd in 100m Hurdles, 3rd in 4x100m Relay Ashlyn Binge – 5th in 100m Hurdles, 3rd in 4x100m Relay, 1st in Pole Vault Marly Lumbert – 3rd in 4x100m Relay, 4th in 400m Dash Makayla Helmer – 3rd in 4x100m Relay, 5th in Long Jump Emma Peterson – 2nd in Shot Put, 2nd in Discus Brooklyn Rauch – 4th in Shot Put, 3rd in Discus Sierra Pranger – 5th in Discus Mia Lumbert – 4th in Long Jump The following student-athletes also achieved new personal records: James Rodriguez (200m), Bryce White (3200m), Mason White (3200m), Jareth Shappee (Discus), Gavin Aldrich (Discus), Tuff Rood (Pole Vault), Joslyn Clay (100m Hurdles), Lexi Curtiss (100m Hurdles), Kirstyn Cummings (800m, 1600m), Isabell Darling (1600m), Ryann Ball (3200m), Emma Peterson (Discus), Ashlyn Binge (Pole Vault).
