/

By: Scott Emigh, Editor-in-Chief

Oklahoma State University-signed senior Cheyenne Walden earned her ninth Frontier Valley Conference title last week at Union High School. She was the only Sandite to take home a conference title, but Aden Baughman took silver while Kristopher Edwards and the Girls' 3200 relay team earned bronze.

Walden placed second in the 1600 meter run with a time of 5:10.98, just three seconds behind Bartlesville's Rilee Rigdon. She was the defending champion in both the 1600 and 3200. She retained her title in the 3200 with a time of 10:48.23, her fastest time of the season, less than three seconds behind her career-best. She topped Bartlesville Runner-Up Shay Stayton by 53 seconds.

Walden has won four Conference titles in the 3200, one in the 1600, and four Cross Country titles. 

Madelynn Adams tied her personal record in the 200 meter dash, taking thirteenth place in 29.9 seconds. Stephanie Genn set a PR of 1:07.15 for tenth place in the 400. Southwestern Oklahoma State University-signed senior Alexis Davis set a PR of 12:47.53 for a sixth place finish in the 3200. The 1600 relay team finished less than a second behind their season-best with a seventh place finish in 4:38.22. The 3200 relay team took third in 10:36.74.

The Sandite boys saw an end to their run of four-straight track meets with a first-place finisher, but Baughman came close with a second place finish in the 800 meter run. He previously won four-straight, but he still gave the second-best performance of his career and was less than half a second behind his PR and exactly half a second behind Owasso's Carson Ball. 

Kyle Keener took eighth in the 110 hurdles with a PR of 17.31. Josh Ivy knocked nearly two seconds off his PR, taking fifteenth in the 300 hurdle in 50.07. Alex Newport PRed in both hurdle events, finishing eleventh in the 110 in 21.34, and sixteenth in the 300 in 51.09. Joel Mackey placed sixth in the 100 in 11.49 and fourth in the 200 in 22.59. Ben Norte PRed for the fourth straight week with a seventeenth place finish in the 200 in 24.06. Jaelyn Jackson took sixth in the 800 in 2:02.19. Ian Baustert set a PR 4:45.93 in the 1600 for sixth place. Edwards took third in shot put with a distance of 45'08.00" and Malonn Moyer placed sixth with a PR of 43'08.25". Colton Washington took fourth place in the long jump with a PR distance of 22'01.00". The 3200 relay team placed fourth in 8:32.73

Overall, both the boys and girls came in seventh out of ten teams. The Union Redskins won Conference titles in both divisions.
