Red Raiders set pace during indoor meet at Chadron State

Sidney athletes won 11 events, the most of any school, at the Chadron State College High School Indoor Track and Field Meet held Saturday.

But with approximately 500 athletes, and more than 800 entries, in the competition, there were winners from eight different schools.

Two seniors were double winners among the girls. For the second straight year, Bayard senior Jessi Smith won both the 55-meter hurdles and the 800 meters.  Calbi Ausmann of Newcastle, Wyo., also won two events, the 400 and 1600. Both have been gold medal winners at their state meets.

Sidney won two of the three relays in both portions of the meet. The Lady Raiders took the 4x400 and 4x800 titles and the Sidney boys won the 4x160 and 4x800 races. 

Individual winners for the Sidney girls were Courtney Fritzler in the 60 meters and Natalie Radcliffe in the long jump. 

Gering had the girls’ winning 4x160 relay, the Bulldogs’ Jasmine Johnson won the 200 meters and Brianna Eckerberg was the shot put champion.

Other first place winners among the girls were Nicole Barker of Bayard, 3200; Hannah McQuistan of Scottsbluff, triple jump; Miranda Gilkey of Niobrara County High at Lusk, high jump; and Jessica Harvey of Morrill, pole vault.

Harvey was also the runner-up in the long jump.

Sidney’s Jake Heeren repeated as the boys’ shot put winner for the second consecutive year. Sidney boys also won the three longest races with Logan Uhler taking the 800; Brenner Keane the 1600 and Collin Brauer the 3200. In addition, the Raiders’ Alex Linneman won the long jump.

Alliance’s Brody Brennan won the 55-meter dash and anchored the winning 4x400 relay. Teammate Trevor Ridenour won the high jump for the second year in a row.

The other boys’ champions were Joe Ferrero of Bayard, 200; Seth Frederick of Guernsey-Sunrise, 400; Rob Price of Scottsbluff, pole vault; Antonio Price of Rapid City Central, 55 hurdles; and Sage Hagen, also of Rapid City Central; triple jump.
