Tigers have good day at Guernsey

Three of Encampment High School’s track team boys members received top five placements at Saturday’s Guernsey Viking Invite, the team’s second meet of the 2013 season.

Kyle Wessel was Encampment’s highest scorer of the meet, achieving third place in both the triple jump and 300-meter hurdles, and fourth place in the 110-meter hurdles. Not too far behind were Waddie Love, who grabbed fourth place in the discus; and Lucas Jarrett, who secured fifth place in the shot put.

All together, the Tigers brought in 26 points total and placed sixth overall at the meet, which took place at Guernsey-Sunrise High School in Guernsey.

“We had only five boys this meet, but most saw improvement in their events,” Coach Kegan Willford said. “It’s good to get a track meet in over spring break because it gives these athletes a chance to compete and gain experience on a regulation track. We’ll have to work at getting everyone back in shape as we move into the middle of the season, so each athlete has a chance to perform at their best at the end of the season.”

The list of Encampment’s team placements at Guernsey is as follows:

Kyle Wessel: long jump — 16 feet 10 inches, triple jump — 36’5” (third place), 110-meter hurdles — 21.18 (fourth place), 300-meter hurdles — 52.04 (third place)
