South Central High School's
track and field boys turned in
another good performance Tues-
day, April 18, competing against
a huge field with 14 other high
school squads.
The Timberwoives took part
in the annual Tom Gilmore Re-
lays at Ashland. South Central
scored 10 places in the various
events and finished with 56 team
points. That gave SCHS fifth
place in the final boys standings.
South Gray High School from
Montezuma ran away with the
boys division championship, pil-
ing up 81% points for the title.
SpearviUe High was a close sec-
ond with 75 points. Meade
edged meet-host Ashland by a
single point (67-66) in a hectic
battle for third and fourth places.
Other team standings in the
boys division:
5. South Central High with 56
team points. 6. Bucklin 46. 7.
Haviland 36.8. Freedom (Okla.)
High School with 27 team
points. 9. South Barber High
School of Kiowa, 23%. 10.
Greensburg 21, 11. Fowler 18.
12. Cimarron 15. 13. Buffalo
(Okla.) High School with 13
team points. 14. Ingalls 9. 15.
Minneola with 3 team points.
South Central nabbed a trio
of first places, one second, and
two third places. The T-Wolves
also took a pair of fifth-place fin-
ishes and a pair of sixths.
Senior Bryce Reimer again
won all three sprint events. He
clocked 11.16 seconds in the
100-meter dash, took the 200
meters in 22.96, and flashed
home first in the 400-meter dash
with his time of 50.61 seconds.
Josh Zielke also placed in the
400 dash, timed in 55.72 sec-
onds.
The 400 dash was one of two
events in which the SCHS boys
placed two entrants Tuesday.
The other was the 1600-meter
run in which freshman Kaler
Hazen took third in 5:09.68, and
Anthony Pollino was sixth in
5:13.73. Kaler Hazen also won
fifth place in the 3200-meter run
in I 1 minutes, 35.67 seconds.
Jered Flinkman, a senior, was
the only other SCHS boy to
place in an individual event. He
finished sixth in the javelin
throw with a toss of 143'4".
Senior Alex Brooks had a
rugged day. He clocked 24.68 in
the preliminaries of the 200-
meter dash. But he cramped up
and could not run in the finals.
Brooks had similar tough
luck as a member of the 400-
meter relay. He cramped there
and his relay unit could not be
finished.
South Central picked up a
second and a third in the other
two scoring relays. In the 3200-
meter relay, the T-Wolves took
second place in 9 minutes, 5.16
seconds. Those runners (in or-
der) were Josh Zielke, Alex
Brooks, Jered Flinkman, and
anchorman Levi Miller. Zielke
started offthat foursome with a
standout clocking of2:14.93 for
his 800-meter leg of the race.
In the 1600-meter relay,
SCHS placed third in 3:43.13.
Those runners (in order) were
Josh Zielke, Jered Flinkman,
Bryce Reimer, and Levi Miller.
Reimer's time of 50.96 seconds
for his third leg of the relay gave
that unit a big boost.
SCHS also placed second in
the 400-meter relay for other ath-
letes who competed in throwing
events. But that event did not
count in team scoring. The over-
all Timberwolf time was 52.81
seconds. Runners (in order) were
Jesse Baker, Matthias Krull, Nell
Baker, and Chance Gates. An-
chorman Gates had the fastest
time of 11.85 seconds for his
100-meter stint.
These other SCHS athletes
competed in a variety of events.
They did not place or score
points. But these were their
events and their marks:
100-- Daniel Bradley 12.79
seconds. 200 -- Levi Miller
27.32. 800 -- Anthony Pollino
2:18.34. Daniel Bradley
2:24.17. Jesse Baker 2:26.39.
