Lady Irish win NCKL track title Cowgirls third; Chapman boys second – Abilene Recorder Chronicle
CLAY CENTER – The Chapman Lady Irish rolled past the competition to take the North Central Kansas League girls championship Friday at Clay Center. The Irish scored 142 team points to distance itself over Marysville with 109 and Abilene at 101.33.
Earning double championships from Taylor Briggs, Maya Kirkpatrick and Sophie Cavanaugh plus Macy Bliss’s shot put gold medal, the Lady Irish gained momentum headed to the Regional meet on Friday in Buhler.
Briggs wins for the fourth time in her brilliant career in both 1600 meters and 3200 meters. The four-time Class 4A Cross Country champion looks to add to her multiple 4A State Track championships later this month after her regional performances this week.
Kirkpatrick completed a double win in 300-meter hurdles and long jump while Cavanaugh doubled up in high jump and javelin. Bliss picked up Chapman’s seventh gold medal in shot and she placed second in discus behind Abilene’s Lyndsey Buechman.
The Cowgirls had a steady day with personal record performances from multiple athletes. The Cowgirls 4x800m Relay team of Bailey Rock, Sammy Stout, Chloe Rock and Eden Bathurst grabbed gold with a 10:15.08 run.
In boys’ competition, Chapman finished second to Marysville in the team race. The Fighting Irish got multiple wins from seniors Eli Winder and Trevor Erickson. Winder took first in 400 meters, long jump and triple jump. Erickson earned gold in 110-meter hurdles and 300-meter hurdles.
The Cowboys got a breakout performance from Lucas DeDonder in the boy’s 200-meter race as he earned gold just edging out both Winder and Erickson at the tape. Grant Waite brought home gold for Abilene in 800 meters.
Abilene and Chapman now prepare to run at Regional Track on Friday at Buhler High School. The top four placers in each event qualify for the Class 4A State Track Meet on May 27th in Wichita.
