Eagle track team breaks three school records in memorable weekend at State Meet……….
If a coaching staff ever wanted a wish to come true, it would be that the athletes perform their best on the biggest stage of the year.
The Allen coaching staff got just that over this past weekend in Omaha, at the Nebraska State Track Meet, as 12 Eagle athletes performed in 15 events, hitting near season bests, exceeding season bests, and breaking school records.
The Eagle boys finished the meet in 5th place as a team, scoring 22 points and the girls 14th as a team, posting 16 points. A truly great showing by two relatively underclassman dominated squads. The squads harvested 16 medals from the meet. The count would have been 21, but two near misses (9th places) kept the Eagles from really having an even better weekend. Nonetheless, the efforts by all the athletes exceeded the results.
The Eagles had one girl school record fall, as sophomore, Alli Jackson, raced to a silver medal in the 800 meters, clocking a 2:23.41 time. The record breaking run replaces Lori Erwin’s (Koester) 42 year old record run in 1977, of 2:23.59
The Eagles boys reset an earlier season and school record mark by posting a 45.18 time in the 4X100 relay, (Noah Carr, Josh Grone, Brogan Jones, Devin Twohig) and then ending the state meet with a runner up finish in the 4X400 relay and setting a school record of 3:31.38. The 4X400 record breaking run, replaced the 2007 record set by Luke Sachau, Chris Blohm, Scott Wilmes and Charley Green. (Noah Carr, Devin Twohig, Avery Fredericksen, Brogan Jones)
Junior, Noah Carr, had a stellar weekend, as the fleet footed one placed 8th in the 100 meters and then a 3rd place in the 200 meters, while adding two more relay medals in the 4X100 and 4X400.
Freshmen, Jordyn Carr, garnered silver in the long jump.
The boys 4X800 relay, making its 13th appearance in 14 years, picked up its 12th set of medals in that time span. (Isaac Verzani, Avery Fredericksen, Brogan Jones, Devin Twohig)
COACHES COMMENTS:
“A tremendous effort was given by all of the athletes representing our school this weekend. Some efforts fell a little short, and some blew the lid off the record books. No matter what we did, our kids deserve credit for taking the initiative to work hard and improve. 4 school records this year alone. One can only imagine where it may go from here. Thank you to the parents, family and friends who staked out Burke Stadium, and supported our athletes. Thank you to the entire Allen track family for a great 2019 season. Hope to see you at our meets in 2020.”
