We are almost to the postseason for Winter sports so that means that it once again is almost one of my favorite times of the year, track season. The University of Kansas held its high school indoor invitational on Jan. 31 and we got a little preview of what to expect this spring. Here are some of the results of note from the meet:
- Wichita East’s Oliver Bradwell ripped a 21.84 to win the 200-meter dash. That is one of the top five times recorded by a high school athlete in the US in the indoor season. Last season the fastest 6A time at state outdoor was 21.90 in a prelim. If Bradwell can keep it up he should be in for a big track season.
- Class 5A mid-distance heavy weights Josh Muncsh of Hays and David Thor of Bishop Carroll faced off in the mile. Munsch came away with the win fairly easily in a time of 4:32.44 and Thor was second at 4:36.78. Munsch also ran the 800 where he placed third with a time of 2:01.02. Munsch is a senior who will run for the University of Kansas next year.
- Cameron Sprague of Hutchinson, class 5A runner-up in cross country, ran a time of 9:36.46 in the 3,000-meter run to place third.
- Aarian Tipton of Wichita Southeast ran a time of 26.30 to finish third in the 200-meter dash. She was third in Class 6A in the event last season.
- Jamie House of El Dorado won the pole vault by a foot with a winning vault of 11-feet and three inches. House is the two-time defending 4A champion in pole vault. She also holds the third best vault in the history of Kansas.
What do you think? What athletes will make some noise this spring on the track?
