KC Metro results 10/4

Max Storms broke the O'Hara school record of 15:57 in the 3.1 mile race set by Phil Byrne in 1988 by placing third at the KC Metro meet run at Ray Pec Middle School in a time of 15:45.
Others setting personal bests were: Andy Meyer (18:19), Sam Baird (23:46), Thomas Armenta
(24:19), Chelsea Rose (25:15), Amy Gaston (27:08), Katelyn Gutteridge (23:45), Paige Bush
24:46), Erin Scott (26:49), and Claire Becker (25:41). Katelyn Gutteridge would have won a medal had she run the freshman race. She would have placed 39th. The girls team placed 29th out of 29 teams. The boys did not have a team score as Kyle VanHecke was unable to run due to allergies. The girls team also did without their number one runner, Aliyah Jones, as she was getting ready for her brother's wedding. The Celtics next meet will be this weekend at the Helias Meet in Jeff City. It will be run at Binder Park. Varsity Boys will run at 10:00, varsity girls at 10:30, JV Boys at 11:00 and JV Girls at 11:30. Fans attending this meet are asked not to park in the boat ramp area. Plenty of parking is available east of the tackle shop or in the field across from the boat ramp.
On the college level, former female standout, Stevie Katzer, also ran a personal best in 21:19
at the Emporia State University meet on Friday. She has dropped nearly a minute from her time as a senior at O'Hara.

state summary

Max Storms proved that maximum performance at state has become a given. His 32oo meter run on Friday night was a 10 second improvement on his personal best from the KU Relays, where he turned in a 9:37. His mile splits at state were nearly identical as he turned in a first mile of 4:43 and a second mile of 4:44. He entered the last lap tied for first with Swearingen of Potosi. Swearingen took the title with a 61 last lap, and Max held second with a 68. The 1600 meter run on Saturday afternoon would be another story. No one wanted to lead the race so it was a mad sprint during the last lap. He ran a 62 and ended up 6th.

Bryce Dennis was appearing in his first state meet ever in the discus. Bryce's personal best going into state during the 2008 season was 148'10. Bryce hit the foul pole with his first throw and this completely upset him. Because of the state format, where four throwers take all their throws, Bryce was never able to get back in sync. His next three throws fell way short of what
he had done all season. Coach Martin was truly proud of Bryce's hard work all season and his entering the O'Hara Track Hall of Fame. His winning the district championship in the shot put
was the highlight of the season.
