Cashion double dips regional championships

Reese Hobgood

The quartet of Grayson Davis, King Underwood, Cole Baustert and Hank Brown won the day’s final race to give Cashion not one, but two track and field regional championships.

Those four Wildcats won the mile relay in 3:32.23, which was two seconds faster than Oklahoma Union. The 20 points - and 18 for Oklahoma Union pulled Cashion even with Oklahoma Union in the final team standings, giving the teams a share of a Class 2A regional title.

That came after the Cashion girls team cruised to their regional championship on their home track with 116 points. That easily put them past Oklahoma Union’s 91.

Sophomore Khloe Kastner accounted for a big chunk of the girls’ team points.

She won four gold medals on the day: two in relays and two in individual events.

She was a part of the 400 and 800 relay teams that won. Both also included Reese Hobgood, Kate Nabavi and Emerie Eubanks.

Kastner also raced to the win in the 200 meter dash and soared to another in the long jump.

Success is nothing new in those events.

Kastner is the defending state champ in the long jump and was on the 400 and 800 relay teams that won gold at last year’s 2A state meet. Joining her in the 2025 800 relay were Nabavi, Chevy Eubanks and Abby Hobgood. This year’s version sees the younger sisters of Eubanks and Hobgood in Emerie and Reese, respectively.

Reese Hobgood was with Kastner on the 400 relay team that won the state championship last year as well (along with Abby Hobgood and Chevy Eubanks).

Kastner was also the 2A state runner- up as a freshman, too.

Hobgood is joining Kastner as a state qualifier in four events.

The sophomore not only is on the two relays, but also took second in the 100 meter dash and third in the 200.

Nabavi was the silver medalist in the 400 to become a state qualifier in three events.

Brooke Shafer scored points for Cashion in four different events and she’s a state qualifier in three of them.

She automatically qualifi ed by placing third in the shot put.

Shafer also got fourth in the discus, fourth in the high jump and was on the 3,200 relay team that was fourth.

That team - which also consisted of Zoie Cox, Camilla Slane and Lyla Sloan - was an additional state qualifier.

Shafer also was an additional qualifier in the discus.

Sloan was fourth in the 3,200 and the 800 meter runs.

Her time in the 800 was good enough to qualify her for state.

For the boys’ team, Davis etched his name as an automatic qualifier (third place or better) in four different events.

In addition to the mile relay, he was on the 400 relay team that took second, he was third in the long jump and brought home the regional title in the 400.

The 400 relay team was the same group of four that won the mile relay.

Underwood was also third in the 400, making him a three-event automatic qualifier.

Baustert was not only on those relays, but the 3,200 relay that also consisted of Logan Shafer, Judson Graham and Cale Browning placed sixth with a time good enough to punch a state ticket.

Baustert took fifth in the 800 and was an additional qualifier in that event as well.

Brown scored in four events. In addition to his two relays, he placed fourth in both the 100 and 200 meter dashes.

Cameron Billen will compete in both throwing events at state.

He placed second in the shot put and third in the discus at the regional.
