CPHS Track: Sandites win four Regional Championships, qualify 10 for State

By: Scott Emigh, Editor-in-Chief

The Charles Page High School Track and Field teams competed at the 6A Regional Championship in Claremore this weekend and had one of their best performances in years, qualifying ten individuals for the State Championship. Three Sandites claimed first-place titles. The girls finished in fifth place while the boys placed sixth overall. 

Oklahoma State University-signed senior Cheyenne Walden won her ninth and tenth Regional Championships in the 1600 and 3200 meter runs. She won both last year as well, and has won the 3200 all four years of her career. She ran the 1600 in 5:16.18 and the 3200 in 11:06.11. She had a six-second margin of victory in the 1600 and a 56-second margin of victory in the 3200. 

Sophomore Aden Baughman won his first Regional Championship with a 1:55.42 personal-record performance in the 800 meter run. Not only was it his personal best, but it was the best performance of any Oklahoma boy this season at any classification. He also broke his PR in the 1600 with a runner-up performance of 4:30.42. 

Senior Colton Washington won his first Regional Championship in the long jump with a performance of 21'10.00", the second best of his career. He beat the runner-up by more than three inches. 

Tiqvah Soap qualified for State with a fourth place performance in the 800. She finished in 2:31.79, just half a second behind her personal-record. She placed eighth in the 1600 with a PR 5:54.30.

Walden, Soap, Alexis Davis, and Elizabeth Watts qualified for State with a third-place performance in the 3200 relay. They finished in 10:10.76 for their best performance of the year.

Baughman, Jaelyn Jackson, Ian Baustert, and Jacob Garbey qualified for State with a third-place performance in the 3200 relay. They finished in 8:32.64.

Junior Kris Edwards qualified for State with a fourth-place finish in shot put with a distance of 46'09.00". 

Sophomore Joel Mackey took sixth place in the 100 dash preliminaries in 11.54, and improved to fifth place in 11.49 in the finals. In the 200 he placed fifth in the prelims with a time of 23.04, followed by a 23.37 sixth place performance in the finals. 

Senior Mikey Burns took fifth place in the 110 hurdles in both the prelims and the finals. He set back-to-back PR's of 16.71 and 16.56. Freshman Alex Newport PR'ed in both hurdle events, finishing the 110 in 20.90 and the 300 in 50.97.

Junior Madelynn Adams placed ninth in the 200 dash with a PR 29.46 performance. Danny Murray placed ninth in the 3200 run with a PR 11:13.65 performance. 

Payton Scott, Kameron Carpenter, Ben Nortey, and Joel Mackey ran the 400 relay in 44.87 for fifth place.

Madelynn Adams, Kaileeann Worthington, Stephanie Genn, and Tiqvah Soap ran the 1600 relay in 4:35.25 for fourth place and their best performance of the season.
