Last month as I watched nationally-ranked high jumper Tyus Wilson from Sterling compete at our Hillsboro CKTL meet, I was struck by a distinctive element of track and field: no matter where you come from, how small your town or school is, how good your team is, an individual athlete has the chance to excel. And sometimes, like Tyus, a top national mark is set at a small, rural America meet.
Even though not every athlete will take a national spotlight, personal records are set each meet by a range of athletes in fact, many of our Hillsboro athletes set PRs at that particular meet and my guess is, each team represented had athletes who could raise their hand to the question, “who set a PR at the Hillsboro meet?” That particular element of track and field is no doubt exciting. But the athletes competing individually are also competing as a team.
Sterling, Kan. (westernkansasnews.com)–Scott City Coach Brian Gentry knew for his team had to be aggressive against Sterling in the paint if they had a chance against the Black Bears. The No. 5 team in Class 2A has one of the top players in Tyus Wilson, who averages just under seven blocks a game. Early on, Scott City was able to work it against him. However in the end, his length made it difficult for the Beavers to do much, as they fell 54-23 on Tuesday night inside the Gleason Center at Sterling College, spoiling Scott City’s debut in the 49th Annual Sterling Invitational.
