Julianne Matousek may have more successful state track and field meets in her future.She’ll be hard-pressed to make them more memorable.The Hennessey High School freshman scored at least one point in all three of her events last weekend at the Class 3A state meet held at Catoosa High School.

Lomega medaled in eight different events to secure its best-ever finish at the Class A state track and field meet.TheLadyRaidersnotched 48 points to finish fifth in the team standings, the highest ever.That wasn’t all the history made.

As she crossed the finish line and looked up to the giant scoreboard, Scout Snodgrass didn’t care so much about her placing.“Dang,” she said. “So close.

Two years into her high school track and field career, Khloe Kastner has competed in the maximum of eight events at the state meet.Her results? Seven gold medals. One silver. “That’s beyond impressive,” said Cashion track and field head coach Tony Wood of his sophomore phenom.

Kyle Yowell’s complete game gem helped deliver another state tournament appearance for the Cashion baseball program.The senior right-hander allowed just five hits and struck out 10 Friday as Cashion downed Coalgate 5-0 in a Class 2A-I regional championship game at home.

Kylee Bell will graduate from Dover this week as a two-time state champion.The senior repeated as the Class A champ in the pole vault on Saturday during the state track and field meet at Western Heights High School.She won the event by clearing 10 feet, 6 inches.

A disastrous top of the fourth inning proved too much for Dover to overcome.The Longhorns gave up five hits and committed two costly errors in that frame as Leedey turned a two-run deficit into 7-3 lead.The fourth-ranked Bison eventually rode that momentum to an 11-6 victory over the No.

Top-ranked Okarche took care of business.The Warriors pounced on Ripley early and rode the momentum to an 11-0 run-rule win in the Class A-I state baseball quarterfinals at Shawnee High School.The win advanced Okarche to Friday’s semifinal against Amber-Pocasset (after press time of this edition).

Julianne Matousek was an automatic qualifier for state in three different events as she led Hennessey’s charge Saturday at the Class 3A regional track and field meet at Chisholm.

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.
