The Higbee middle school track teams put together an outstanding performance at the St. Mary’s Invitational in Glasgow, highlighted by 6 school records, numerous personal bests, and strong finishes across every event group. Leading the way historically, the boys 4x800 relay (Imhoff, Simmons, Sears, Dodsworth) set a new school record—completing an incredible accomplishment as this same core group now holds all four relay records (4x100, 4x200, 4x400, and 4x800). The girls are looking to do the same with the 4x800 and 4x200 relays also setting new school records today. These broken records were held by phenomenal athletes that went on to compete at state in high school. This goes to show what is in store for the future of track and field at Higbee School! In the field events, Higbee made more history. The boys pole vault group reset the school record, with both vaulters clearing higher than the previous mark. The boys discus record was also broken, continuing a dominant stretch in the throwing events. On the track, the boys mile record fell as well, highlighting the team’s continued development in distance running. On the boys side, Phoenyx Sears had a big day with PRs in both the 100m and 200m, while also placing 4th in discus with a PR throw of 27.00m. Jackson Dodsworth added strong performances in the 200m and 400m and contributed to the record-setting 4x800, while also placing 6th in shot put. Justyn Imhoff delivered one of the top distance performances of the meet, placing 4th in the 800m and running a huge PR in the 1600m to break the school record. Isiah Simmons was a standout across multiple events, placing 2nd in pole vault with a PR and helping reset the school record, while also adding a PR in long jump and a strong hurdles finish. Talon Stockhorst added a PR in discus, contributing to the team’s success in the throws. For the girls, the sprint group set the tone early. Emma Deschu placed 2nd in the 100m with a PR and added another PR while finishing 2nd in the hurdles. Avian Deskin placed 3rd in both the 100m (PR) and hurdles, giving Higbee a strong presence on the podium. Addison Greening and Tinsley Vanlandingham both recorded PRs in the 100m, with Vanlandingham adding additional PRs in the 200m and 400m. Ridley Hall also picked up a PR in the 200m. In the distance events, Kadence Sercu led the way with a PR and 4th place finish in the 800m, while Olivia Boggs added a PR of her own. That group powered the record-setting 4x800 relay. In the field events, Kenlee Wright had a strong day with a 5th place finish in both shot put and discus. Rylee Seidel was a key contributor across multiple events, placing in shot put and discus while also taking 6th in triple jump. Overall, it was a historic and highly successful meet for Higbee, with six school records, a long list of personal bests, and athletes continuing to improve across the board. The program continues to build momentum, with both the boys and girls teams finding their strides!
