The post-season section of the track and field schedule continued with the Southern BC Divisional Meet at the Laurel Sports Complex on Thursday, May 16th. The Southern B Division is comprised of 3 districts instead of two (like the Northern and Western Divisions) covering schools from as far west as Jefferson to as far east as Baker. Due to the size of the division, the top eight finishers in each event earn their right to advance to the State Class B Meet in Laurel on Friday and Saturday, May 24th and 25th.
The Lady Bulldogs earned the silver trophy coming in second to the Huntley Project team with a total of 81 points. All eleven ladies (one freshman, three sophomores, four juniors, and three seniors) that advanced to divisionals will also be representing the Bulldogs at state. What a talented group of ladies!
Senior Havyn Vandenacre won both hurdle distances, took fourth in the javelin and 100-meter dash, and got fifth in the 200-meter dash to advance to her last state track meet.
Sophomore Kaitlyn Noyes won the long jump, placed 3rd in the triple jump, took 4th in the 200-meter dash and high jump, and 5th in the 100-meter dash.
Freshman Kyla Meissner won the 1600-meter run and will be advancing in that race, as well as the 3200-meter run. All three of these ladies had previously state qualified in their events, but competed well at the divisional.
Holly Newman moves on in the 100-meter hurdles by running her PR and placing 4th; following that with her season’s best in the 300-meter hurdles finishing 9th. Holly will also be competing in the high jump and long jump with her earlier state qualifying distances.
Senior Reese Wolfgram pre-qualified earlier in the season, but backed that up with a 6th place finish in the long jump at divisionals; also advancing in the triple jump by placing 4th.
The Bulldog distance squad looked strong again at divisionals with everyone moving on to compete at state. Junior Memphys Meier placed 7th in the 800-meter run, while fellow juniors Kaelyn Sangray and Abby Wickens finished 4th and 6th, respectfully in the 3200-meter run.

He increased his distance in the triple by two feet and almost a foot in the long jump, which earns him a spot at state in both jumps, as well as the 100-meter hurdles.
