Last year, Forestburg High School athlete Cheyenne Banks qualified for state in the Conference 1A discus.
Banks is returning to the state meet, but this time in the shot put.
“She didn’t get a mark in the discus this year, but she was able to get a mark in shot put and go in that,” Forestburg head girls’ track and field coach Steve Sandusky said. “It’s very exciting to be a part of what Cheyenne’s doing.”
Not too many Forestburg athletes have qualified for state more than once, and Banks joins the ranks of former Lady Horns such as middle-distance runner Christany Reynolds.
Meanwhile, after watching friends pole vault at the state meet in 2014, this time Saint Jo’s Sarah Patrick will be a competitor.
“She attended the state track meet last year as a spectator,” Saint Jo head girls’ track and field coach Chad Tallon said, “and she set the goal of qualifying this year. She has worked hard for this goal.”
This rounds out a stellar junior year for Patrick, who also qualified for the 1A regional golf and tennis tournaments and she won the region in the Current Events category at a University Interscholastic League academic competition.

Nocona got its new press box into place this week at Jack Crane Stadium. The old press box, which was in place for more than 60 years, was taken out in early June and moved to Indian Valley Raceway. The new press box was by the Southern Bleacher Company out of Graham. Athletic Director Black Crutsinger said they looked at a lot of press boxes and decided they liked the one at Lindsay High School and went with that model. Sean Hutson operated the crane from the Hurd Crane Service that put the press box up for Nocona.

Hattie Snow got the fastest time in the flags event and Lany Shupak got the fastest goat time. Riggin Bishop got named the top cowboy in the division.
In the eight-and-under division, Whitley Goins won the top cowgirl and Trell Carpenter won top cowboy. Goins got the fastest times in barrel racing, flags and mystery event. Carpenter got the fastest time in poles and goats.
