The Park Hill Boys Track team will have a strong presence this weekend at the state sectional meet at Blue Springs South High School. Placing second in this past weekend’s district meet with 128 team points, they’ll be represented in 15 different events from a broad range of categories including both short and long-distance, throws, and jumps. The top four finishers in each competition qualified for the sectional meet and it will be the same case in moving onto the state meet next weekend. First place finishers included James Leach in the 800 meter dash, Adrien Esaw in the 110 hurdles (2nd in the 300 hurdles), Nick Smith in the shot put, and the 4x800 relay team of Fernando Garcia, James Leach, Nathan Koehler, and Ricardo Garcia.
Park Hill Girls Track
The Park Hill Girls Track team squeaked into the top four in their district meet last weekend with their 62 team points. Although they would have liked to see better performances from athletes who just barely missed the cut, the Trojans will have representatives in five events. Helena Hudson continued a strong season with a second place finish in the 100 hurdles. The 4x100 and 4x800 relay teams placed second and fourth respectively while Stephanie Atkinson in the pole vault and Betty Grauberger in the triple jump both placed fourth. Park Hill barely missed qualifying in a couple events including long jump (6th), discus (6th), shot put (5th), 100 meter dash (5th), and 1600 meter run (5th).
Park Hill Boys Tennis
Park Hill Boys Tennis brought home another consecutive district title last week. Qualifying as a team, Sam Barth, Mike Merchant, Brian Hillix, Bryan Willis, Michael Jones and Austin Caldwell will represent the Trojans in the state playoffs. Barth qualified as an individual to continue in the single tournament while the doubles duo of Merchant and Hillix will compete in the doubles bracket. Regionals were held Monday at Park Hill as the Trojans looked to avenge an early season loss to Liberty.
