Hiawatha ? Tonganoxie High track athletes qualified for state in 10 events on Friday at Hiawatha.
Ten different Chieftains were a part of those state-qualifying efforts and two of them — Roni Grizzle and DJ Lindsay — won an individual regional title. Grizzle finished first in the shot put and Lindsay won the 200-meter dash.
Grizzle also qualified for state with third-place finishes in the discus and javelin. Although no runners from Tonganoxie’s girls team made it, Grizzle will be joined at Wichita next weekend by her younger sister Domino, who finished fourth in the discus, and fellow senior Chrissie Jeannin, who was fourth in the javelin.
Lindsay didn’t just qualify for state in the 200, he also made it in two relay races. The junior ran with Bret Koch, Jake Willis and Jeremy Carlisle to finish fourth in the 4×100 relay, setting a school record of 43.68.
The 4×400 team also qualified for state with a third-place finish as Lindsay anchored the team of Carlisle, Tommy Heskett and Koch.
