Area track teams break records over the weekend

There’s no stopping the Lee’s Summit North girls track and field team.
The Broncos won the Bill Summa Relays at Williams Chrisman over the weekend with eight firsts including three meet and school records.
The shuttle hurdles relay team of Madison Smith, Maddi Wilkins, Christi Coleman and Erica Morey set records, as did the sprint medley and 400-meter relay teams, both of which consisted of Sierra Hawkins, Smith, Simone McGautha and Courtney Lewis.
“I think that was a goal of there’s to break the school record in the sprint and 4x100 relays,” Broncos head coach Ed Brill said. “And that was without Veronica Rollins. And our hurdles, we have four pretty good girls and they were flat moving.”
North also won the 6,400-meter relay, the 3,200-meter relay, the 1,600 medley relay, the distance medley and the pole vault where the best jumps of each girl was added up for a total height.
Sandra Hampton wasn’t bad either, throwing a personal best of 149 feet in the discus.
The Broncos will split up this weekend with some runners going to the KU Relays and some to the Capital City Relays in Jefferson City.

Titans strong at Staley

Essence Chalmers continue to re-write the record books in the shot put at Lee’s Summit West.
Chalmers broke her own record once again Friday in the Jerry Crew Relays at Staley High School, throwing 40 feet, 1.50 inches, helping the Titans win the meet.
“I knew she was going to be pretty decent,” Titans head coach Derek Howard said of Chalmers. “I don’t know if there is anybody in the city within two or three feet of her. It’s a nice surprise because we’ll need her in Jeff City come May.”
Liga Blyholder had another strong meet, winning the 800 and 1,600.
Lauren Cheadle continues to run well, winning the 200 against a tough field, as well as finishing third in the 100 and in the long jump with an impressive jump of 18-9.
“Anytime you jump 18-9, even at state, you figure you should get first place,” Howard said.
Howard was also proud of the effort by the 1,600 relay. He threw some new girls into the race – Blyholder, Cheadle, Emiah Bingley and Jac’Que Timberlake – but saw them take second in a tight race.
It ended up being another good day for the Titans when all was said and done.
“Anytime we win a meet in April that’s just icing on the cake,” Howard said.
The Lee’s Summit girls were also at Staley and had some relays step up.
Head coach Mike Spiegel said the surprise of the meet was the 400-meter relay team of Lynette Cottingham, Emman Wright, Krysten Maddox and Brittni Campbell running a season-best time of 50.89.
The 1,600 relay continues to be one of the strong areas for the Tigers, as Samantha Gilkey, Abbey Stetzler, Campbell and Maddox won the event.
Maddox also won the open 400 with a time of 1:01.30.
The Tigers also got good performances from their pole vaulters. Kaylie Tipton and Sierra Garcia place second and third, respectively.

Titans boys break records

The Lee’s Summit West boys track and field team was at the Springfield Hillcrest Invitational over the weekend and continued to compete at a high level.
“We were very excited about how our kids competed as two school records were broken, in addition, a number of athletes established season-best marks in their events,” Titans head coach Bob Klausing said.
Kevin Colon continues to show he’s at 100 percent with a school record and meet record time of 9:16 in the 3,200-meter run.
“He looked extremely strong, running out of the pack at about 300 meters and consistently building up his winning margin to over 100 meters,” Klausing said.
The 1,600-meter relay team of Zach Gray, Ben Wharton, Brandon Rice and Donald Wilcox also set a school record with a winning time of 3:26.
“Brandon Rice deserves some special recognition as he was put in the relay at the last minute and ran a really strong leg to contribute to that team's school-record-breaking effort,” Klausing said.
Gray also won both hurdles events with a season-best time of 14.69 in the 110s and 40.10 in the 300s.
The other first for West was the 800-meter relay team of Gray, Wharton, Wilcox and Hartzell Gray.
Other top three finishes were Wilcox taking second in the long jump and Evan Boehm placing third in the discus. Hartzell Gray ran a season-best time of 22.5 in a fast field in the 200 and took fourth.
Tigers keep improving
With some athletes stepping up and some setting personal bests the Lee’s Summit boys track and field team gained some confidence at the Jerry Crew Relays at Staley High School Friday.
“It was a confidence booster for a lot of those guys to see their times improving,” Tigers head coach Craig Heeney said. “They know they can do it consistently.”
Chalyn Revely had a strong day taking third in the 400, fifth in the triple jump and was a part of the 1,600-meter relay team that took third.
“He’s only a sophomore, so we sent him to JV at the start of the year. He did pretty well and the guys at practice just call him a machine,” Heeney said. “He’s probably the hardest worker on the team. He can do just about anything.”
Phillip Hanke took third in the pole vault in his first varsity meet, while first-year track athlete Sam Sealer was third in the long jump. Lucas Corbitt was fifth in the long jump and Matt Marting placed seventh in the 800.
The 3,200-meter relay just missed a medal by placing fourth.

Eagles topple old records

It was a record-breaking day for the Lee’s Summit Community Christian boys and girls track and field teams Friday at Bishop Miege, as both teams took sixth out of nine teams.
Christa Bearce jumped 32-6 in the triple jump and ran a time of 51.17 in the 300-meter hurdles for two records, while Cydney Whitney ran a 27.21 in the 200 for another school record.
“We continue to improve every meet and the girls are working extremely hard gearing up for May,” Eagles head coach Kyle Miller said.
On the boys side, Elliott Seale ran a record-breaking time of 23.64 in the 200.
Miller was also excited about the performance of distance runners Jacob Maffuccio and David Danner.
Maffuccio took 11 seconds off his mile time down to 5:29, while Danner took four seconds off down to 5:51.
“I told them they turned in good times for as hard as we have been working them in practice the last few weeks,” Miller said. “I'm really excited to see what they can do over the next month.”
Junior Ben Brundage had a good showing in the discus with a season best throw of 99-2 for seventh.
The Eagles are back in action tomorrow at Holden.
