Lady Jackets take 2nd at Fairview

Kingfisher County - especially on the girls side - had a strong showing Tuesday at the Fairview Track and Field Meet.

The Kingfisher High School girls placed second overall while Lomega was fifth and Hennessey sixth out of more than two dozen teams that took part.

The Lady Jackets’ 108 points were second only to Chisholm’s 119.

Both were well ahead of the field as Fairview took third with 46 points.

Lomega managed 39 points and Hennessey scored 33.

KHS got a boost in the relays as it won the 800 and 1,600 while finishing second in the 3,200.

Chisholm bested the Lady Jackets in that race with a 10:34.

Kingfisher’s Harper Evans, Lily Lunsford, Mattie Slezickey and Scout Snodgrass combined to run a 10:39.

Kingfisher got payback in the last race of the day, the mile relay, by besting the Lady Longhorns.

Abbie Myers, Reese Roof, Slezickey and Snodgrass completed the race in 4:18.44, nearly 5 seconds ahead of Chisholm.

Roof got the job done on the anchor leg of the 800 relay as she ran down Chisholm’s anchor to cross in 1:51.1. Chisholm finished in 1:51.3.

Roof was joined by Myers, Maya Haney and Adlee Friesen in that relay.

Snodgrass won Kingfi sher’s lone individual gold as she took first in the 400 meter dash in 1:00.4 Ela Hartman won a pair of silvers in the field as the sophomore took second in both the high jump (5-feet) and long jump (16-3 1/2).

Myers was the runner-up in the 300 hurdles while Ryann Farrar was a bronze medalist in the 800.

Kinsley Fisher hauled in - or, more aptly, threw for a couple of silver medals to help lead Lomega.

The senior was the runner- up in both the discus and shot put.

Fisher set a PR in the discus with her heave of 115 feet, 9 inches.

She threw the shot 35-9 1/2.

Both were on the third place two-mile relay team along with Miranda Ortega and Camila Rios.

Julianne was second in the 3,200 meter run and Jocelyn took sixth.

Juilanne was also third in the mile.

The exception was in the 100 hurdles where the Lady Eagles’ McKenna Cheney placed third.
