The road to State is getting short, but the Skyhawks continue to add athletes to the list of those qualified to compete May 12 and 15th at Mesa Community College. In the past two weeks 8 girls have either qualified or better their current qualifying standard. On the boys side, 3 more qualified and one better his qualifying time.
At the Kellis Invite on April 3, 2010, Senior Elizabeth Wells improved her high jump season best to 5'0". Senior Marissa Gibson, competing in her first meet of the season qualified in both the 200m and the long jump with a time and jump of 26.63 and 16'3". And Sophomore Mackenzie Giglio joined the State caravan with her qualifying time of 26.99 in the 200m. The following week at the Greenway Invite, Sophomore Tessa Kelley ran a smoking 46.61 in the 300m low hurdles. In the same race, teammate Kayleigh Zobel ran a qualifying 48.85 to join the State competition. Senior
Chelsea Gobster vaulted 9'6" in the Pole Vault and Giglio added another event to her agenda for state, running 61.15 in the 400m. Sophomore Courtney Brown completed the jumps trio by qualifying in the long jump with a leap of 15'2.5". She's already qualified in the high jump and triple jump for state. Rounding off an outstanding meet for the girls was a 51.26 time in the 4x100m relay team consisting of Zobel, Brown, Kelley, and Gibson.
On the boys side at Kellis, Senior Hayden McClellan won the 300m hurdles with a 5A Division II leading time of 39.97, and Junior Josh Espinoza qualified for the 1600m with a winning time of 4:29.20. At Greenway, Junior Darius Watkins joined Trae Armstrong in the 200m running a state qualifying 22.84, and Senior John Green leaped himself in the state meet in the long jump with a 21'1.25" jump. Check out all the state qualifiers on the Athletes Qualified page.
Next up for the Skyhawks is their own Westside Invitational where hopefully they can fill in some more gaps before Regionals and State.
