Outlaws break in new track
By Charlie Kanzig
Correspondent
The totally rebuilt track-
and-field facility got broken
in Wednesday, March 22, in
the first home track meet at
Sisters High School since
2014.
Te a m s f r o m C r o o k
County, La Pine, and Madras
joined the host Outlaws in
the early season meet in cold,
dry conditions that produced
few exceptional marks, but
plenty of courageous efforts,
according to Head Coach Jeff
Larson.
“Everyone competed hard
and the efforts given now
at this early part of the sea-
son show me that our kids
are going to keep improving
week after week,” he said.
The meet was not scored.
One tremendous mark of
the day came when Jordynn
Slater, a La Pine junior,
uncorked the best javelin
throw in all of Oregon this
year with a distance of 153
feet even.
“I might not have believed
it if I had not seen it myself,”
said Outlaws throwing coach
Eden Miller. “I am glad the
spear stuck in the ground so
we could get an absolutely
accurate measurement.”
Slater also won both the
discus and shot put by wide
margins.
“She’s the real deal,” said
Miller.
Larson sees these early
meets as intense practices and
a way to sort out who should
be doing which events. This
is especially true on a team
that is on the young side.
“We have a lot of fresh-
man and other first-year
tracksters on the team, and
it’s going to be fun to see
how things develop,” he said.
One frosh making an
immediate impact with solid
marks is Ryliereece Morgan
who improved her best long
jump to 16 feet 3 inches. She
also won the 200 by edging
teammate Mandi Calavan
28.61 to 28.68 and won the
high jump with a clearance
of 4 feet 10 inches.
Morgan and Calavan also
helped the Outlaws to victory
in the 400-meter relay with
teammates Bri Bachmeier
and Sabrina Reifschneider in
a time of 54.77.
