Longhorn Tracksters Stand Out At CRC
Several Dorchester High School track team members made their presence know at last Saturday's Crossroads Conference held at Osceola Public Schools.
The Dorchester girls brought home five medals, with the boys winning three, as reported by the Friend Sentinel.
According to the Sentinel, for the Longhorns, the shot put was the event for the day. Bailey Velder threw 34-0 to finish second, and Avery Behrens was fifth with a throw of 33-1.
Meanwhile, Cassidy Olson won a pair of medals in the sprints, finishing fifth in the 100-meter dash in 13.5 seconds and fourth in the 200 in 28.0 seconds.
Jacee Weber placed fifth in the triple jump with a jump of 31-10. (Ten days earlier, Weber won the triple jump at the Friend Invitational with a jump of 32-5.)
In the boys’ events, Corey Bird won two medals, placing second in the high jump at 6-3 and fifth in the long jump at 19-8. Anthony Cordova earned sixth in the discus with a throw of 122-4.
Up next for the DHS tracksters is the Paul Underwood Invitational at McCool Junction tomorrow, Thursday, May 7. Events in the six-team meet start at 9:30 a.m., weather permitting.

Way to go. Hopefully, Corey and Cassidy, and Bailey can make it to state again this year.
