WOW 81 medals

Beatrice , Nebraska - Thirty-Eight Jets invaded Beatrice and looked like a hungry track team. The Jets had been working very hard for two weeks without a track meet and came out running, jumping and throwing. The Jets won 30 out of 45 events for a total of 45 gold medals. The Jets also had 25 silver medals, 11 bronze medals, 7 fourth place ribbons, 8 5th place ribbons and 3 6th place ribbons. Every Jet that competed qualified for the state association meet in the events they competed. The performance was so good that the Jets broke 27 personal records and established 18 more. The marks were good enough to set 30 new top 5 Jet performances. Nine club records and two club records were tied.

The group of Jets above, the 800 meter team, established some amazing statistics. Out of eleven Jet athletes competing in the 800 meters, all eleven Jets received medals, 9 had top 5 Jet history performances, including 4 club records. A total of nine personal records were set and one was .2 of second away and the other was 2.1 seconds. All the Jets were outstanding and the hard work of the 800 team has paid off.

MacKenna Slack tied the club youth girls high jump with 4'8" and Christian Sanderfer tied the midget high jump record at 4'6" and broke the 400 meter dash record at 1:03.7. Mallory Morton established a new midget girl javelin record at 78'4"; Addison Byers established a new bantam girls record in the 400, at 1:17.8 and the 800, 2:59.9; Michaela Frenzel broke the midget girls 800 record at 3:04.0; Erin Statz established an 800 youth girls record her first time out at 2:39.0; Derrius Vick moved up to the 800 and broke the youth boys record at 2:33.0; the bantam boys 4x100 meter relay team of Daniel Humphrey, Brandon Vick, Sam Morris and Kenzo Cotton broke their own record at 1:06.5; relay members Creighton Morris, David Peaslee, Jeff Morrison and Derrius Vick sliced one tenth off the 4x100 meter youth boys record.

Wonderful job by all the Jets.
