YATES CENTER — Spearheaded by Kyla Drake and Makayla Brooks, Marmaton Valley Junior High’s track and field squads took home plenty of gold Tuesday. MARMATON Valley’s results:
The Wildcat eighth-grade girls team won their division, while the seventh-graders took second in theirs behind Eureka.
“It was a great job by both girls teams today,” Wildcat assistant track coach Scott Brady said. “We had girls getting us points in basically every event for both grades, which gives our teams a great chance to win meets.”
Drake earned three golds and a silver on the eighth-grade side; Brooks did the same thing for seventh grade.
Drake took first in the high jump, clearing 4 feet, 6 inches; in the 200-meter dash in 30.5 seconds; and as a member of the medley relay team with NaLea Alexander, Magie Stevenson and Misty Storrer with a time of 2 minutes, 21.77 seconds. She earned silver in the 100-meter dash in 13.98 seconds.
Brooks, meanwhile, won the seventh-grade 100 at 14.24 seconds, the 200 at 31.08 seconds and as a member of the 4×100-meter relay team with Emily Smart, Clara Boyd and Shayla Brooks, with a time of 1:02.38. Her silver medal came in the 400-meter dash, finishing in 1:15.39.
Shelby Yoho won the 1600-meter run for the seventh grade, finishing in 7:02.17. Megan Ensminger, Yoho, Boyd and Smart teamed to win the seventh-grade medley at 2:33.5.
Casey Allen won the 1600 on the eighth-grade side at 6:57.58, as did Misty Storrer in the 400 at 1:16.73.
Trevor Wilson’s long jump of 14’8” was good to win the seventh-grade boys division.
“As usual, it was extremely cold but even with the low temperatures, some of our kids were able to set new personal bests at the meet,” Davis said.
