The 2018 Comets track and field teams are Cascade Conference Champions together for the second time in school history.  Both teams finished undefeated during the regular season and won the conference meet on Tuesday at East Jackson HS.  This is the 4th consecutive year for the boys and 2nd in three years for the girls.  There were 20 new PRs set on the evening and several outstanding performances that were necessary to capture the title outright.  The girl’s team had 8 event conference champions while the boys had 7 event champions.

Judy Rector won the iron man (800, 1600, 3200, 4×800 relay) along with her relay teammates of Krissy Johnson, Lindsay Vansumeren, and Searah Bowker.  Kimmy Burk won the pole vault, Abby Beneke won the high jump, the 4×400 relay team (Ella Cure, Reagan Fazekas, Burk, Vansumeren) and the 4×200 relay team (Aislyn Williams, Beneke, Cure, Fazekas) also won.  Second place finishers were Williams in the HJ, Fazekas in the 400 and 200, and Kathryn Childs in the 100mH.  Ashlin Schnell placed third in the 300mH to complete the medal winners.

Landon Melling was conference champion in the 800, 1600, and a member of the 4×800 relay along with his relay teammates of Hunter Miller, Andy Swihart, and Dean Reynolds.  Dakota Manee won the 200, Bo Shepherd won the 3200, Chance Cauthon won the pole vault, and the 4×400 relay team (Donovon Kennedy, Kyle Owen, Shane Sauber, Manee) won to earn the conference title.  Second place finishers were Manee in the 100 and 400, Shepherd in the 1600, Melling in the 3200, Evan Gray in the pole vault, and Chandler Garcia-Vance in the discus.  Third place finishers were Garcia-Vance in the shot put with a new PR, Noah Flint in the 3200, Swihart in the 1600, and Cauthon in the 200 to complete the medal winners.

Amazing job by all and it was a total team victory that required every point for the championship title.  This group of student-athletes has approached each team goal with determination and continue to improve daily.  Both teams now get ready for the MITCA Team State meet at Clare HS on Saturday with aspirations to achieve even more PRs.  Way to go Comets!!!
