Outlaws shine at Rotary track meet
By Charlie Kanzig
Correspondent
Sisters hosted 11 teams at
the Sisters Rotary Invitational
Saturday, April 29. They
flexed some muscle on the
way to shining performances
and the third school record in
the past week.
The Outlaws won a com-
bined 13 events among the
boys and girls, but it was
Julianne Meeter who put
together the brightest perfor-
mance of the day as she had
the best javelin series of her
career, including the school
record toss of 120 feet 5
inches.
Throwing Coach Eden
Miller could not have been
happier for her star, who has
been pursuing the record for
over two years.
“We all figured it would
happen someday, but it was
special to have it take place
at the final home meet of her
career,” she said.
The mark popped Meeter
up into the top six among
4A spear-chuckers. Only two
other 4A throwers have sur-
passed 130 feet, including
the 4A leader Rhiley Fritz of
Corbett, who threw 143 feet
1 inches last week. Fritz has
placed at state each of the last
four years, including her sec-
ond-place finish last year.
Other winners for the Lady
Outlaws included Nicole
Kersavage in the pole vault
where she established a per-
sonal best of 8 feet 7 inches.
Freshman Jade Anaya won
the triple jump with a mark
of 31 feet .75 inch and class-
mate Ryliereece Morgan won
the long jump with a mark of
16 feet 3.5 inches. Both were
personal records.
“We have a lot of youth
on the team who are doing
very well while still learning
their events,” said Coach Jim
Anderson. “My hope is that
they will work hard to find
out how good they can really
be.”
Morgan placed second
in the high jump at 4 feet 8
inches, second in the 100
meters (13.28) and teamed up
with her sprintmates Mandi
Calavan, Brooke Robillard,
and Sabrina Reifschneider
that took first in the 4x100-
meter relay in a time of 52.86.
Reifschneider, who ranks
among the top three 4A 100
hurdlers, won her specialty in
16.06, which is her best of the
season. She also won the 300
hurdles in 49.92.
Anna Bartlett won her first
1,500-meter race of the sea-
son with a personal best of
5:18.60 after biding her time
and coming from behind after
the leader went with a brisk
first lap.
The 800-meter trio of Tate
Ricker, Amy Hills, and Alexa
Stewart picked up lots of
points for the Outlaws as they
finished second, fourth, and
sixth respectively. Hills also
placed third in the 300-meter
hurdles with a personal record
of 53.73 and tied for second
in the pole vault at 7 feet 1
inch.
For the boys, Tucker
Flannery piled up some points
for the team with a win in the
javelin (153 feet 11 inches),
third in the 400 meters
(54.55), and fifth in the long
jump (19 feet 5 inches).
Keegan Greaney ran away
from the field in the 300 hur-
dles to win in 41.37 seconds
and ran a leg on the winning
4x100-meter relay with team-
mates Korbin Sharp, Brogan
Petterson, and Sam Garbrecht
(45.31).
Sharp placed second in the
400 (53.56) and Garbrecht
took second in the 100 to tack
on a few more points for the
team.
Sam Lewis picked up a
win in the pole vault at 12
feet 1 inch, which was a per-
sonal best, and placed fifth in
the triple jump as well with
another personal record mark
of 37 feet 7 inches.
Jordan Pollard took an
early lead and dominated
the 3,000 meters to win in a
season best time of 9:48.16,
while teammate Asher
Bachtold ran a furious final
three laps to move all the way
up to second place, also in a
personal record of 10:13.16.
“I wasn’t sure how to run
the race,” said Bachtold after-
wards, “so I started off easy
and realized I had a lot left
and started catching people.”
In one of the most exciting
races of the day, Keaton Green
found himself in a three-
way battle in the 800 meters.
Green ran even with the leader
through 400 meters, but a gap
developed between the two in
