DODGE CITY — The Great Bend High School track and field team was unable to secure a first-place finish in either the girls or boys division at the Western Athletic Conference meet hosted by Dodge City.
The Panthers took second place behind Hays with 76 points. The girls took second place with 99, just five short of first-place Dodge City.
“I thought we did a really good job,” GBHS head coach Bo Black said. “We were happy with the way things turned out. We knew going in that it was going to be a fight for second place in the boys division.
“We were battling for first in the girls division. We’ve won the girls side five times and we wanted to make it six, but just didn’t do it.”
Great Bend boasts four WAC champions in the field events with Jacy Quade leading the charge.
Quade claimed the top distance in the girls shot put, hurling the metal ball for 36-7 ¾ and the discus with a distance of 126-11.
“It was another good day for her,” Black said of Quade. “She continues to get better every meet. She is a big reason why we were so close to taking first as a team.”
Sophomore Chris Burley took first place in the boys’ pole vault with a height of 13 feet. Simon Sullivan took second place in the pole vault, reaching 12-6.
“He had his first win in that and he did it convincingly with 13 feet,” Black said of Burley. “He had a real good day.”
For the Lady Panthers, Hannah Middleton reached a personal-best height of 9-6 in the pole vault.
Alex Reed continued his WAC dominance in the 200- and 400-meter dashes, taking first place in both events for the third time.
Reed ran a 49.49 in the 400 dash and 22.80 in the 200 dash to take home the gold.
Rubi Torres took first place in both the 1,600 run and the 3,200 run for the second straight year, turning in times of 5:36.64 and 12:13.89, respectively.
"That’s a girl that is our senior leader,” Black said. “She got out there and competed for us. We’re going to miss her next season.”
The WAC Champions Cup was awarded to Dodge City at the end of the track meet.
