Stout, fresh from a victory in the sectional meet a week ago, ran his best race in the 800-meters at state to take sixth place overall in the competition. His time of 2:02.93 shaved five seconds off his winning time at the Richmond sectional and represented not just a season best but a personal best effort. His state time was less than one second off the fourth place pace.
Sophomore Isaac Mattis, in his first state competition, finished 12th overall in the Class 2 pole vault after clearing the bar at 11’9". The winning height at state was 14’3".
The Lady Bulldog 4×800-meter freshman relay team of Bailey Morrison, Kaitlyn McNeely, Kaitlyn Hefley and Kailey Elbert, finished 15th in 10:30.92, which was just over their season best time at the Grand River Conference meet earlier this month. The Class 2 girls winning time was 9:41.83.
