Day 3 of State T&F - Honkers Fly High
The Honkers started off the day with Taley Michel placing 9th in the 400m run with her 2nd best performance of her career.
Lincoln Spear placed 10th overall and missed finals by less than 3 feet, but Lincoln did throw a season best to end the season.
Taley Michel, Tenley Michel, and Anna Petersen were on the track next running the 800m. Taley Michel ran a strong race running a solid time shortly after her 400m performance. Tenley Michel looked strong again running her 2nd best time in her career. The Honker Senior, Anna Petersen, finished off her individual career with an 6th place finish and cutting nearly 2 seconds off her best time ever which is now 2nd in school history.
In the final race of the day and the season the Honkers topped their previous school record in the 4x400m relay by almost a second and placed 8th overall.
Anna Petersen had a remarkable senior season and capped it off with 4 podium appearances for the Honkers; 2nd in 4x800m Relay, 8th in the 1600m, 6th in 800m, and 8th in the 4x400m Relay.
The Honkers had a remarkable season and one for the record books, with this group of core student-athletes who are gritty coming back the future for the Honkers is sky high!
After Day 2 the Honkers have a couple more podium appearances as Anna Petersen placed 8th in the 1600m and the Girls 4x800m Relay took 2nd place.
Anna Petersen ran a PR by over 6 seconds moving her up into 3rd all time in Honker History and earning a place on the podium in 8th place. (All top 8 placers were more than 16 seconds under the state qualifying time).
The Girls 4x800m Relay shaved off nearly a second from their previous school record. Taley Michel, Mersadie Miller, Tenley Michel, and Anna Petersen took home 2nd place overall!
The Boys 4x800m Relay consisting of Tygen Michalenko, Bridger Melin, Phil Ankenbauer, and Eli Anderson had their 2nd best performance of the season finishing in 16th place (Came in @ 16th) in the State B with a time of 9:19.45.
Amaya Baptiste entered the State Meet in 16th and moved up 3 spots to 13th overall. She threw 33'7.5" which is a little short of her PR this year.
Taley Michel is HEADED INTO THE 400M FINALS. She came into the meet in 14th place, but ran a PR by over 1 second and earned the final spot into the 400m finals which will be ran tomorrow. The top 9 times in prelims get a chance to podium tomorrow!
Tenley Michel came into the meet in 17th place, but dominated her heat today with a 1st place finish and moved up 2 spots to a 15th ranking. Tenley also dropped 3 seconds off her previous PR!
It may have been a wet and rainy day @ the State Meet today, but Honkers love the rain and can fly high in any type of weather!
Onto Day 3 tomorrow, keep flying high Honkers!
After day 1 of the State T&F Meet we had 3 Honkers compete and all 3 putting in some of their top performances of their careers and the season!
Jacob Zorn placed 7th in Discus throwing 142'11" which is one of his top 2 throws of his career. He also competed in High Jump!
Maggi Gill threw 3 of her top 4 throws of her career in discus today. She moved up 4 spots in the rankings throughout the event!
Phil Ankenbauer missed a PR by less than a second! He started and finished the same in the rankings!
