Five out of six isn’t too bad. “I think the kids just did great, even Jaxson (got a personal record) and it was all just that fast,” Calvary Lutheran track and field coach Kerri Morris said. “The effort level was great, Kyle (Hagemeyer) PR-ed in the mile, Sydney (Morris) PR-ed in the discus, they just stayed focused. They worked really hard and I’m just so happy that paid off. A lot of teams come here and don’t get any medals. It’s nice to be on the board with some points.”
After the disappointment of just missing the podium as a freshman last season, Calvary Lutheran’s Sydney Morris got the joy of a medal Friday at the Class 1 and 2 track and field state championships at Adkins Stadium. Morris walked into the shot put area and heaved her first attempts 37 feet, 1.25 inches, the best throw of the day to that point, but placed her second at the end of the first round of throws. Two more competitors passed her initial throw in the second and third round of throws, leaving Morris with a fourth-place medal.
