ATHLETES SWING INTO ACTION ON THE TRACK AND IN THE POOL
Tokay senior Kali Anema set a personal record in the 1,600meter run on Thursday, finishing in 5 minutes, 19 seconds to win the event in a dual meet against Lincoln.
Meanwhile, the varsity and junior-varsity high jump went to a pair of sisters — senior Lauren Frisk and freshman Brooke Frisk, both with a 4foot, 8-inch mark.
It may be a short season because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but now that the Tri-City Athletic League is allowed to hold competition, some Tokay athletes are taking full advantage.
Wyatt James and Noah DeMars tied for the varsity boys high jump win at 5-2, only to be outjumped by two JV boys, Kenan Johnson and Joshua Young, who both cleared 5-4.
Other big performers for Tokay’s boys varsity squad included Jaryn Eaton, who won the shot put at 47-10.5 and the discus at 156-6, Wyatt James and Caden Toone, who went 1-2 in the 110 hurdles at 17.25 (James) and 20.32 (Toone), and Zack Kellogg, who placed second in both the boys 1,600 at 4:41 and the 800 at 2:10.
On the girls varsity squad, Rayleen Salgado won the shot put at 20-08 and placed second in the discus at 73-0.25, which Hannah Hauschildt won at 8108.
On the JV boys side, Tokay swept the 200 via first-place Johnson (25.91), second-place Hashir Khan (27.14) and third place Ali Dougish (28.06), while Hank Hiatt set a personal best in the 1,600 at 5:17, with teammate Axel Castro placing second at 5:24.
For the JV girls, Tokay’s Emma Shackelford won three events, with a 6:13 in the 1,600, a 2:51 in the 800 and a 14:30 in the 3,200, while Ashley Ortiz won the 200 at 28.28, and the 4-by-400 team of Ortiz, Estrellita Meza, Annalyn Grant and Ashley Ragon won at 5:37.8.
