CPHS Track: Layne Kirkendall stars at Owasso Track Meet

Former Jenks standout Layne Kirkendall has been sidelined to JV action this year due to transfer eligibility, but that hasn’t stopped her from competing. In the basketball season she had to play against JV teams, but in the track and field season she gets to compete against varsity athletes. She can’t score team points or make the post-season, but she can place in regular season events. In Friday’s season debut at Owasso she finished top three in all three of her events.

Kirkendall won the girls’ long jump with a distance of 16’09.75”, was second in high jump with a height of 5’00.00”, and was third in 200 meter dash with a time of 27.44 seconds. She single-handedly outscored six varsity teams and the Lady Sandites would have placed sixth overall with her in their ranks.

Without Kirkendall, the girls placed 11th out of 14 teams thanks to fourth place finishes from the 4x800 relay team (11:17.15) and from Annaston Wiseley, who ran the 400-meter dash in 1:04.95.

The Sandite boys’ varsity placed 10th of 17 teams, and the junior varsity was 17th. Joseph Mattison was the top dog on the boys’ team, placing fourth in both of his events. He had a mark of 19’02.00” in long jump and a time of 11.9 seconds in the 100-meter dash.

The Sandites are in their first season under Head Coach Tim Dial, and he’s already taking strides to improve the program. This year they got an early start by competing at indoor track events at the Universities of Arkansas and Oklahoma before the season officially began. They also added pole vaulting to the program.

Edmond Memorial won the boys’ team title while Owasso won the girls’. Sand Springs will return to action Thursday at 3:30 p.m. at Union High School.
