Track athletes flock to Prairie City Invitational

Published 4:00 pm Tuesday, April 9, 2019

Donald Parker Memorial Field was abuzz with track and field athletes and spectators at Friday’s Prairie City Invitational.

Fifteen schools in the 1A through 4A classes competed, and for some teams, it was their first meet of the season.

Grant Union Prospector Kaylee Wright, a senior, made her debut in grand style, setting a personal record in javelin with a throw of 141-08.25.

She beat the state record she set last year, 138-6.5, which had broken the previous state record she set as a freshman.

Wright also placed first in three other events, the 100, high jump and the 4×100 relay with teammates senior Trinity Hutchison, senior Sydney Brockway and freshman Carson Weaver.

Prairie City Panther Haley Pfefferkorn placed third in javelin.

Hutchison also set a personal record in the long jump with a mark of 17-05 for first place with Brockway placing second. Long Creek sophomore Dorotha Johnson placed 11th and was third out of her 1A competitors.

Brockway was also first in the 100 hurdles, and Hutchison placed first and set a personal record in the 300 hurdles.

Grant Union sophomore Jordan Hall placed third in the 110 hurdles with a time of 18.67, behind two 4A athletes.

“I definitely have a lot of work to do,” he said. “The main goal is to keep your lead leg ahead and keep it the same for the entire race. I need to pick up speed.”

He said today’s race, his first this year, was a gauge for the rest of the season.

In shot put for the boys, Grant Union’s Drew Lusco, a junior, placed first with a mark of 41-11.75, and Prairie City’s Jake McHatton, junior, came in second with a throw of 36-01.50.

Lusco also placed first in discus with a throw of 108-08, and Monument Tiger sophomore Donovan Schafer placed second, setting a personal record of 104-05. McHatton threw with a mark of 102-09 for third, and Long Creek Mountaineer Henry Grannis, a junior, also set a personal record with 91-07 for fourth.

For the girls, Grant Union sophomore Abby Lusco was first in discus with a throw of 96-02. She placed third in shot put.

Dayville’s 4×100 relay team — Zach Ferguison, Jaydon Hoffman, Austin Walker and Gabe Walker-Hopkins — placed 11th, and they were fifth among the 1A competitors.

Grant Union’s Mason Gerry was first in javelin (148-02.75), and Braden Spencer was first in pole vault (10-0).

Monument distance runner sophomore Mark Thomas set a personal record in the 1,500-meter run, placing first with a time of 4:50.40, competing with 16 other athletes. He placed fifth in the event at state last year.

“The race was really intense,” Thomas said, speaking of Friday’s event. “I think to begin with today, it was a great start, and I look forward to the rest of the season.”

Grant Union canceled a Small Schools Meet, which was set for April 9, due to a flood risk at the school.

Grant Union, Monument, Dayville and Prairie City are scheduled to compete at 1 p.m. Friday at the Burns Lions/Oster Track Meet in Burns.

Long Creek is scheduled to compete at the River’s Edge Invitational at 12 p.m. Friday in Umatilla.
