Zayna Busse took fourth in the shot put, Kinsey Harold placed sixth in the 100-meter hurdles and Maryn Sandbo finished fifth in the 800 meters, all at Smoky Valley.
On the boys side, Mason Miller claimed first place in the javelin at the Smoky Valley Invitational and teamed with Brody Milleson, Jayce Gunn and McKoy Berggren for a third-place finish in the 4x100-meter relay. Jayren Stutzman finished second and Yony Banuelos sixth in the 100-meter dash, Gunn placed fifth in the discus and Kinnick Anderson took seventh in the triple jump at the Emporia State Relays.
