Cheyenne Walden is three-time State Champion

By: Scott Emigh, Editor-in-Chief

Varsity Girls

Junior Cheyenne Walden is not your average high school athlete. Not only is she one of the best in Charles Page history, she's one of the best in Oklahoma as well. For the third year in a row, Walden claimed the first place title in Conference, Regional, and State 5Ks. 

As a Freshman, Walden stunned the field with an 11-second lead on the runner-up, then beat her teammate Morgan Long by 15 seconds as a Sophomore to earn her second title. This year, she put the pedal to the metal.

Walden was the only girl in the race to finish in under 18 minutes, and was one of only two runners who finished in under 19 minutes. Crossing the line at 17:57.9, she had a 52.3 second lead over Bartlesville sophomore Rilee Rigdon. Walden beat Rigdon by 36 seconds at Regionals.

The Lady Sandite Star claimed first place in her first 5 consecutive races this season, and was undefeated in the state of Oklahoma. Her only second-place finish came at the Fayetteville Chile Pepper Festival to Chelsea Drum of Jackson, Missouri. Despite the loss, her 17:58.97 finish was her season-best. Her career-best was set last week at Regionals with a 17:35.02 finish and she took 1st in a total of 8 races. 

Sand Springs as a school failed to qualify for State, but two other Lady Sandites made the trip as individuals: juniors Alexis Davis and Nia Byrd.

Davis had her third-best time of the season, coming in 45th with a 21:02.5 finish. Her season best was 20:34.29 at Regionals.

Last year Byrd finished 91st and she shaved that down to 90th this year with a 22:24.1 finish.

Varsity Boys

Only one Sandite boy qualified for state--freshman Aden Baughman. Baughman is the first Sandite boy to qualify since Andrew Coleman took 55th in 2012. 

Overall, Baughman came in 69th with a 17:53.5 finish--his second-best of the season. Among freshmen, however, he took 7th. With a season-best time of 17:06.52, it's a reasonable assumption that we can expect a great career and a bright future from Baughman.

Cheyenne Walden earns third Regional title, 4 Sandites headed to State

By Scott Emigh, Editor-in-Chief

Varsity Girls

Cheyenne Walden continues to impress, leaving competition in the dust everywhere she goes. She just set a new season-best two races ago at Fayetteville, then beat it by more than 23 seconds Saturday morning in Owasso. Walden not only took first, but did so with a substantial 36 second lead on her closest competitor, Rilee Rigdon of Bartlesville. This is Walden's third Regional title. Last week she claimed her third Conference title, and she's also a two-time State Champion and is the clear favorite to win it again. 

Five other Lady Sandites also set season-best times at Regionals. Alexis Davis improved by 8 seconds, Nia Byrd improved by 1:16, Elizabeth Watts improved by a minute, Julia Lewis improved by 1:04, and Madelynn Adams improved by 1:26.

Overall the Lady Sandites took 8th place of 14 teams. Bartlesville claimed the Regional team title with 3 top 5 finishers.

Varsity Boys

Freshman Aden Baughman led the boys team for the third time this season with a 42nd place finish and a season-best time of 17:06.52--a 1 minute improvement over his previous season-best set at the Frontier Valley Conference 5K.

Four other boys set season-best times. Jacob Garbey improved on his best time by 54 seconds. Austin McCaskey improved by 8 seconds, Brayden Hardesty improved by 23 seconds, and Brendan Williams improved by 39 seconds.

Overall, the boys took 10th of 16 teams. Jenks took the Regional team title with 2 top 4 finishers. Ethan Beyer of Norman North narrowly claimed first place with a time of 15:24.45, barely a second ahead of Jenks's Matt Young.

State

Both teams fell short of qualifying for state as a whole, but Walden, Davis, Byrd, and Baughman will each travel to the State Championships as individuals.

Last year Walden won her second consecutive state title with a 17:56.3 time and a 15.4 second lead on fellow Sandite Morgan Long. Davis took 21st place with a 19:53.6 finish. Byrd took 91st with a 22:22.8 finish. 

Baughman is a Freshman so this will be his first appearance at the State Championship. He is the first male qualifier from Sand Springs since Andrew Coleman took 55th in 2012.
