Eight JeffsSchool RecordArea Set In PoleBurke Vault Bound By Nathan Heuer Overcoming adversity was a common thread for Fairbury state qualifiers on Thursday at the District B-3 track and field meet in Bea- trice. Dillon Weichel saw his hopes for a state bid dashed in the 110 hurdle prelims when he fell for the first time in high school career whether it be in practice or a competition. Ellie Ohlde entered the pole vault condition having never surpassed the nine-foot barrier and having weather conditions of 44 degrees with 20 mile per hour winds. Yet both dealt with the circumstances in front of them and made the most of their op- portunities. The pair were two of the eight qualifiers that Fairbury will be sending to state. Ohlde, a returning state qualifier in the pole vault, needed only two attempts at the height of 9 feet 4 inches to break the school-record and qualify for the state meet. The sophomore cleared 9-4 on her second attempt after nearly clearing it on her first try. Ohlde reset the school-record by doing, which her teammate, Claire Shumard, set ear- lier in the season at 9-2. So who was one of the first people to con- gratulate her? Of course her vaulting buddy in Shumard. The junior immediately gave her teammate a hug after failing to qualify for state herself right after Ohlde’s attempt.

I’m super proud of her.” Weichel had his own set of odds to overcome to make it Omaha for the state track meet. After falling in the 110 hurdles the senior channeled his anger into motivation. As a 2016 CHEVY TAHOE 4WD 2015 CAD. ESCALADE 2017 CHEVY SUBURBAN fifth-seed in the 300 hurdles, Weichel ran the best race of his career, clocking a personal- best time of 41.41 to finish in second-place and lock in a state bid. “I was just really pissed off.

That made it that much sweeter when he REDUCED secured his spot at state in the 300 hurdles. “First of all I was devastated to see what happened to him in the 110 hurdle prelims.

The three-sport standout was the lead leg on Fairbury’s runner-up 1,600-re- lay team that fea- tured Cora DeBoer, Mikwena Lierman, and Mikasa Lierman. The group posted their best time of the season (4:19.74) in the race by nearly two seconds. In the 200, Huss placed fourth with a time of 27.04 sec- onds. The time was third-fastest addition- al qualifying time. “Sara is a phenome- nal athlete. Sara fully committed herself to track this season and she’s trains so hard every day.
