Boys Varsity Track 2nd in OK White Conference Meet

Game Date
May 14, 2021

ARROWS Finish 2nd at the OK White Conference  Meet                                                                                                 

Magical is how one OK White coach described the OK White Conference Meet at Red Arrow stadium as the stands were full and cameras were a plenty to watch some of the areas best student athletes compete.  The kids did not disappoint as there were numerous photo finishes in both sprints and distance races throughout the evening and those attending were able to see an old standing LHS T & F record go down on the first final event of the evening.  The Arrows were also sporting some magic as there were 20 personal records met over the two days.  GR Christian matched their first place regular season record by winning the event with 148 points, which was 51 points more than the host Arrows. 

Joshua Rau led a trio of Red Arrows earning all-conference honors as he medaled in three events, winning the 110HH, the 300H (40.07), and taking 4th in the shot put (42-05).  The 110HH race was a super way to start the Friday night finals as Josh took down a 35 year old school record as he went 14.82 which set the standard replacing the 1965 record of 14.88c set by Kurt Beimers.  With the stage set the Lowell distance crew took advantage of some rest and snagged an unexpected 1-2 finish in the 1600m run as Cole Weston snuck in at the line to out lean both teammate Sawyer Fowler and a FHC runner with a time of 4:35.83, with Fowler hitting 4:36.01 just .47 ahead of third place.  Weston matched his win with another finish line lean as he won the 3200m with a personal best time of 9:50.05 just .14 seconds ahead of the runner-up finisher.  Fowler earned his necessary all conference points as he followed up with a 7th place finish in the 800m (2:06.17) and then capped it off with two 4th finishes in the relays giving him 12.50 points which was 1 point ahead of the AC cut-off.

Lowell  used the field events on day one to jump start the meet as Keegan Cater took silver medalist honors in the discus with a toss of 130-06 only to see fellow distance man Benjamin Bromley snag 7th with a toss of 114-00.  Noah VanLaan and took 3rd in the HJ going 5-08 and then capped that off on Friday with two medalist finishes in the 110HH and 300H going 17.41(7th) and 44.61 (8th) respectively.  Landon Grant grabbed some more medals earning 8th in both the Hj and LJ going 5-06 and 18-05.
