Outlaws compete in relay meet
Hernandez has career-
best nine-hole outing
By Charlie Kanzig
Correspondent
Heading into a two-week
spring break with no meets,
the Sisters High School
track and field team got a
perfect mix of workout and
competition at the inaugural
Crook County Relays held in
Prineville on March 21.
The meet, which included
the host Cowboys as well
as teams from North Lake,
La Pine, Madras, Paisley and
Sisters, featured non-typical
relay races, many of which
were co-ed, which allowed
teams to really mix things up
and race hard, while having a
lot of fun, according to head
coach Jeff Larson.
“The kids really loved the
chance to team together,” he
said. “It worked very well to
still get to really compete, but
in a much more fun environ-
ment than a traditional meet,
which is especially good since
we are still so early in the
season.”
Though the meet was not
scored, Sisters racked up
wins in many of the running
relay races, including the
distance medley (1,200, 400,
800, 1,600-meters), the sprint
medley (100, 100, 200, 400),
the 4x800, the and the girls
4x100.
Complete relay results
were not available follow-
ing the meet, but Ryliereece
Morgan, Brooke Robillard,
Mandi Calavan and Erynn
Ricker carried the baton
around the oval in 52.69 to
win the girls’ 4x100 relay,
which is a solid early season
time according to Larson.
“The distance crew cer-
tainly did their part for the
team,” said Assistant Coach

Erynn Ricker took top honors in the pole vault.
Josh Nordell. “With their
work ethic and camaraderie
they are a good bet to pull in a
lot of points for both the boys
and girls teams as we get into
the scored meets following
spring break.”
Field events were not con-
tested in relay fashion, but
provided some definite high-
lights for the Outlaws, includ-
ing sophomore Ryliereece
Morgan’s personal record
for the win in the long jump
at 16 feet 5.5 inches, which
improved her previous best
by two inches.
Erynn Ricker won the pole
vault (9 feet 6 inches) while
Shelby Larson placed third at
8 feet even. Sophomore Jade
Anaya won the triple jump
(32 feet 10.5 inches) and
Morgan and Samantha Silva
both cleared 4 feet 10 inches
in the high jump.
For the boys, David Perez
notched a third-place finish
in the discus (110-3 inches),
and Skylar Larson placed
third in the high jump (5 feet
4 inches). Garrett Kersavage
also nabbed a third place in
his specialty, the pole vault
(10 feet 6 inches) and soared
to second in the triple jump
with a personal best of 38 feet
5 inches.
With more than two weeks
of spring break before the
teams compete again on April
12 in a three-way home meet
against Sweet Home and
Cottage Grove, Larson hopes
that the athletes will get in
good training.
“Kids training over the
break is key to our ability to
come back ready to go,” he
said.
The boys golf team played
the Ridge Course at Eagle
Crest on Thursday, March 22,
in a JV event, which was just
nine holes. Summit, Crook
County, Bend, Redmond
and Ridgeview were also in
attendance.
Wyatt Hernandez led the
Outlaws with a score of 44,
which marked the best nine
holes of his career. Hernandez
parred the No. 3, No. 4, and
No. 6 holes. Wyatt finished
fifth overall out of 26.
Coach Bill Mitchell said,
“I always tell the kids to not
try and kill it. About 70 per-
cent of full speed is perfect,
and Wyatt finally listened.
He slowed down his swing,
swung easier, and did great
today.”
Kincaid Smeltzer, in his
first golf event ever, shot a 49,
highlighted by a par on the
eighth hole. Peyton Meyhre
carded a 54, Felix Leahey
a 56, and Connor Crowe
recorded a 58. Dylan Vantress
rounded out the scoring with
a 99.
“We had some new kids
play today,” said Mitchell.
“Kincaid and Felix have
never played before and they
both finished with respectable
scores. Kincaid has a pretty
good swing, and I see him
being in the line-up.”
The girls golf squad played
I always tell the kids
to not try and kill it.
About 70 percent of full
speed is perfect, and
Wyatt finally listened.
He ... did great today.
— Coach Bill Mitchell
Emilie Turpen, in her sec-
ond event, shot a 63-69 for a
132 finish.
Mitchell said, “All three
girls are improving. They
need to work on their short
game, and lower their scores,
which will happen as they
work on their putting and
chipping.”
Both the boys and girls
squad will play at Bend
Country Club on Monday,
April 9.
