MHS - Track & Field / March 21, 2020 By Kasey McDowell
I had a pre-season article for Track & Field planned and halfway done, but sadly due to the Coronavirus, the 2019-20 springs sports have been canceled. The new track coach Robin Williams, who took over the head spot from retired Dale Landes, was expecting big things from 2019 state medalists/participants Seniors Josie Russell, Emily Hankins, Cole Diffenbaugh and CJ Johnson. Juniors Anna Moon and Campbell Williams and Sophomore Amber Hansen. In the throws, we hoped to score big points with Lexie Abasolo and Jaxen Young as well as many others.
Here are the seniors that will miss their senior season and will be sorely missed next year:
GIRLS:
* Abasolo, Lexie (Throws)
* Garcia, Ornella (Throws)
* Gerber, Sarah (Sprints / Throws)
* Hankins, Emily (Sprints)
* Nolan, Karstyn (Long Distance)
* Rodriguez, Maria (Throws)
* Russell, Josie (Middle Distance)
* Woods, Emily (Throws)
BOYS:
* Davis, Kristian (Sprints)
* Diffenbaugh, Cole (Sprints)
* Dillon, Seth (Throws)
* Frieden, Andrew (Sprints)
* Heck, Clement (Middle Distance)
* Johnson, CJ (Sprints)
* Kidd, Justus (Long Distance)
* Lozano, Jacob
* Meek, Jon (Throws)
* Milledge, Chase (Pole Vault)
* Miller, Alex
* Turnbull, Jarron (Throws)
* Whetzel, Julian
* Williams, Bryson (Throws)
* Young, Jaxen (Throws)
Seniors Josie Russell, Emily Hankins, and Cole Diffenbaugh will be continuing their track & field careers next year at college as Josie signed to run cross country and track with Friends University, Emily signed to run cross country and track at Butler County CC, and Cole signed to run track with Fort Hays State University.
