SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. – The Lingle-Fort Laramie Doggers boys’ and girls’ track teams racked up 34 top-six places at the Binfield Invite in Scottsbluff on Friday.
“I felt this was a very strong start to the 2017 campaign,” coach Mike Lashley said. “I though our seasoned veterans performed extremely well. The coaching staff was also very impressed with the competitive attitude shown by our inexperienced athletes.”
Four Doggers picked up individual first-place finishes, including two from Georgia Wollert. Landen Fuller, Cole Shepardson, Justice Madayag and two relay teams all stood atop the podium.
Wollert proved to be a dominant force on the track and in the field events. She won the 100-meter hurdle prelims and shaved off more time to take the finals crown with a time of 17.2 seconds, which was a season record for her. The senior also set a season best in the 300-meter hurdles, taking first with a time of 51.84. In the high jump, Wollert cleared 5 feet to take second.
Makenna Greenwald placed in three events in Scottsbluff. In the triple jump, she put in a 31 feet, 8 inch effort, placing her second. She also took second in the 300-meter hurdles behind Wollert, clocking 55 seconds. In the pole vault, Greenwald finished sixth, clearing 7 feet.
In other field events, Kaylynn Jefferson took second in the long jump (14 feet, 7.25 inches) and sixth in the triple jump (29 feet, 3 inches). Kalli Nichol and Jade Cooper both competed in the long jump and triple jump but did not place in the top-six. Shelby Heilbrun took ninth in the high jump.
Freshman Savannah Mirich proved herself in the throwing events. She took third in discus with a throw of 86 feet, 3 inches and sixth in the shot put with a 28 feet, 11 inch effort. Rhylea Horejs took 13th in shot and 15th in disc. Shelly Ann Sorrick finished 17th in the discus and 23rd in the shot put.
