CHEYENNE – The Southeast Cyclones mixed it up with several larger schools Thursday in the wind at the Okie Blanchard Invitational in Cheyenne, with the boys tying for seventh and the girls taking 11th.

The Southeast boys picked up 20 points in the four relay events. In the new 1600-meter sprint medley, Kaden Malm, Brady Fullmer, Brant Fullmer and Chase Lovercheck joined forces to turn in a time of 3:48.83, earning fourth. The Cyclones took the bronze in both the 1600-meter relay (3:35.09) and 3200-meter relay (9:48.98). Rounding out the relays, Southeast took fifth in the 400-meter relay, clocking a time of 47.59 seconds.

Chase Lovercheck had a solid day in the individual events, turning in a time of 2:04.23 in the 800-meter relay to snag second. Patrick Swank rounded out the individual placers for the Cyclones, taking fifth in the 3200 with a time of 12:24.24.

In large part due to their relays, the Cyclones amassed 32 team points, tying Douglas for seventh in the standings. Southeast finished one points behind Wheatland, who took sixth. Laramie sat atop the standings at the end of the day with 143 points. Kelly Walsh (115.5) and Cheyenne East (98) rounded out the top-three teams.

Hailey Anderson had the best finish for the Lady Cyclones, earning fifth in the 800 after clocking a time of 2:37.71. Morgan Ekwall rounded out the individual placers for Southeast, taking sixth in the shot put with 34-foot, 10-inch effort.

Picking up the final four points, Southeast snagged fifth in the 1600-meter relay with a time of 4:34.59.

As a team, the Lady Cyclones accounted for 11 points to take 11th in the standings, just behind Green River’s 14 points. Kelly Walsh won the girls team race with 154 points. Cheyenne Central’s 139.5 points and Laramie’s 112.5 points rounded out the top-three teams.
