HHS sends eight to state track meet
Heppner track team show tropy
Heppner High School track and
field athletes completed a very
successful regular season last
weekend at the District 7 2A meet
by qualifying eight to the state
track meet and the girls team
capturing the second place team
trophy at Umatilla.
It was a season of rewriting the
record book with one new school
record, several class records
numerous individual personal
records and a large group of
athletes qualifying for the state
meet.
Earning a trip to the state meet
to be held Friday and Saturday at
Western Oregon University in
Monmouth are David Michael
(long jump, triple jump, high
hurdles and intermediate hurdles),
Jared Eckman (high jump), Traci
Dickenson (high jump), Amber
Peck (100 and 200), Abby Kahl
(800) and Casey Ingraham (long
jump).
The 1600 meter relay
team of Trisha Adams, Peck
Brooke Boyer and Kahl also
qualified.
"The most pleasant aspect of
this track season is that we
received outstanding efforts from
athletes in all aspects of track and
field," said head coach Dale
Conklin, "the throws, the jumps,
hurdles and running events. And,
those efforts came from the young
athletes as well as the upper
classmen."
The most consistent performer
all season long was senior David
Michael, said Conklin. He
established personal bests during
the season in the triple jump with
a leap of 41' 8”, long jump, 20’ 7"
and 300 hurdles, :42.3. At district
Michael won the triple jump and
high hurdles and was second in
the long jump and long hurdles.
He also moved up into the third
all-time best intermediate hurdler
at HHS and ninth best in the long
jump.
Traci Dickenson was district
champion in the high jump. Her
season's best mark is 5' 1" which
equaled a personal record.
Dickenson also competed in the
400-meter relay team along with
Lindsey Waterland, Amber Peck
and Casey Ingraham. The relay
team's season best was :52.7,
third best ever at HHS.
Nicole VanEtta placed fourth at
district in the 1500 and 3,000
meter runs. She set a personal
record in the 1500 with 5:31.2
moving to fifth in the all-time
Heppner marks. VanEtta was
fourth in the 3,000 meters.
Rick Worden competed in the
800 meters and although he did
not place at district, he
contributed to the team effort
throughout the season turning in
his best mark of 2:15.3.
The other senior on the team
was Lindsey Waterland. At the
district meet she placed sixth in
the 100 meter dash and fourth in
the 200. She set personal bests in
both during the season running
: 13.7 in the 100 and :29.2 for 200
meters.
Melissa Cutsforth came up with
a personal best in the shotput at
the district meet with a toss of 30'
10 3/4", moving to fourth on the
all-time list. She placed sixth in
the discus and had a season's best
throw of 92' also fourth best at
HHS.
Keith Scott turned in go season
best marks at district with a 37’ 1"
toss in the shot put and 93-4 in the
discus.
Sophomores were led by Amber
Peck, who turned in very fast
times at district, sprinting to a
: 12.8 in the 100 and :27.0 in the
200, both prs. She moves to a tie
for third overall in the 100 at
HHS and sixth in the 200 meters.
Jared Eckman became district
champion in the high jump as he
leaped a personal best of 61 2".
Throughout the season, he also
competed in the 400 meter relay
and triple jump. Other members
of the short relay were Casey
Evans, Michael Schonbachler and
Levi Geer.
Evans placed fourth in the 800-
meter run at district running
2:11.9, a season's season's best.
During the season he also turned
in a :57.2 in the 400 and high
jumped 5-4, good for fifth at
district.
Boyer qualified in the
preliminaries of the district track
meet for the finals of the 400, but
did not place. "Her contribution
to the long relay team was
invaluable all season", Conklin
said.
Kristi Worden struggled with
the pole vault throughout the
season, but at district cleared 6-0
and established a sophomore class
record in the process. It was a
six-inch personal improvement.
Trisha Adams had the fastest
split of the district long relay
team, posting a 1:04.3 time. She
also placed fifth in the 100-meter
high hurdles with a PR of :18.0,
seventh on the all-time list and
was fourth in the 300 hurdles at
:52.5 moving her to third all-time.
Placing fourth in the 400-meter
dash was freshman Levi Geer
with a :55.7. He also anchored the
boys 1600-meter relay team that
placed third in 3:49.9. Other
relay members Evans, Worden
and Michael Schonbachler.
Schonbachler threw to a PR of
109-11 for a fifth place in district
in the discus.
Kahl's time of 2:32.7 in the 800
meter run earned her the district
championship and the second best
time ever at HHS. Throughout
the season she also ran the 400.
Casey Ingraham placed in three
events at district turning in PR's in
two. Her leap of 32' 7 1/2" in the
triple jump broke the school
record she set and reset earlier in
the season, but was only good for
fourth place. The old record was
30" 10 1/2" set by Jill Conklin in
1989. Ingraham's 15'4 1/4" mark
in the long jump earned her
second at district, seventh on the
all-time list. She also placed in
the javelin.
Establishing a freshman class
record in the boys high hurdles
was Matt Jepsen. He ran :17.0 in
the prelims but settled for a : 17.5
clocking in the finals for fifth
place. His mark ranks seventh all
time.
Jake Roy competed in the three
throwing events: javelin, discus
and shotput. Although he did not
make the finals, Roy improved
over previous bests.
The second place finish for the
girls earned HHS the first track
trophy since 1985. The boys last
track trophy came in 1993.
The state meet will be held at
Western Oregon University at
Monmouth. All field events
except
the shot put and triple jump will
be held on Friday along with
preliminaries in all running
events. Finals in the running
