The Savages’ Jerica Gretter finished first in the high jump at 4’8”.

Class B
WACO won the small school division with several solid performances, including Brooke Hammond’s first place finish in the 400 and 800 and the relay teams’ top spot in the 4×800. It was Lone Tree winning the girls half of the meet though, placing first in the 800 medley and 4×100 relay with individuals Ella Feldman winning the 3000 meter run and freshman Makenzie Reynolds taking the shot put.
On the boys’ side WACO’s Brett Hesseltine won the 100, Klinton Garrett and Alan Hesseltine went 1-2 in the 800 while Christian Roth took both hurdle events and the relay teams took the 4×100, 4×800, and the 4×100 shuttle. Kendall Leichty won the shot put with a throw just under 42 feet.
