The OHS boys' track team continued to make great things happen (including a new school record) in yesterday's 17-team meet at El Paso. The Spartans tallied 83 points for a third place team finish. The team racked up 11 all-time performances throughout the day, including: Corbin Rios (12.22), Nate Conover (12.52), Easton Nowaskie (12.54), and Zach Fry (13.02) in the 100 m dash. In the 200 m dash, Chase Ragar (24.55), Cohen Ellis (27.34), and Adam Post (27.58) all improved their previous personal bests. Cohen Ellis (1:02.07) and Cooper Phillips (43.96) chopped time off in the 400 m dash and the 300 m hurdles respectively, while Blake Youngren added just over a foot (39'10.75") to his previous best toss in the shot put. Senior Keagan Uphoff had arguably one of the best days (if not the best) of his highly decorated high school track career. He took 2nd place in the high jump with a leap of 6'2" and took 1st place in the 110 m hurdles (15.32) and the 300 m hurdles (39.31), with all-time best performances in both events and smashed the 8-year old school record in the 300 m hurdles, which was held by Levi Litwiller at 40.06. Keagan's time in the 300's is ranked #3 in the state in class 2A and only 0.07 seconds behind the state leader. Congratulations Keagan!!! The boys' sectional meet is this Wednesday at Pontiac. Stay tuned folks, we plan to have more great news to share after Wednesday night!
