Observations all along the line - Kimball & the Southern Panhandle First
The District competition
for both track and
boy’s golf are completed
and the state competitions
are ready
to take place.
State track in
Omaha is this
weekend, May
18-19, and
state golf for
Class C golfers
will be in Kearney
this coming
Tuesday-
Wednesday,
May 22-23.
Kimball
qualified 3
individuals for
state track with
Brady Kilgore
going in both
the 110 meter hurdles and
the high jump. Hannah
Biesecker in the long
jump and Kaden Adrian
in the 800 meter run. An
interesting note shows a
total of 59 girls will compete
in the Class C girl’s
long jump due to so many
added girls who jumped
the automatic mark of
15’9”. Hannah’s 16’8”
mark at District is among
the top 6 marks from
all District meets. She
will jump at 5:30 p.m.,
Friday evening, at State.
Kilgore will also high
jump around that time
on Friday and also run
his prelims in the hurdles
on Friday afternoon.
Adrian will run the 800
on Saturday. Kaden was
an added state qualifier
by virtue of an additional
fastest time, but actually
ran 5th at District and the
Sutherland District, where
Kimball performed, will
send five 800 runners to
state. Kaden would have
won the event at 5 of the
9 districts. This shows
you how strong the C-9
District is.
Coach Gene Mohr said,
“f we were in another District,
we could be taking 6
or 7 kids to state. When
you are in
a District
with Chase
County and
Mitchell,
plus some
other strong
schools
as well, it
is hard to
qualify.”
Congrats
going out to
Potter-Dix
qualifiers
for the
state meet,
including,
Trinity Langley, who won
both the high jump and
triple jump at District and
Payge Hoffman, winner
of the 100 meter dash and
a 2nd place in the long
jump.
Banner County will
send MaKenna Dahlgrin
to Omaha in both the
shotput and discus, after
she won both events at
District. Also, Deven Sullivan,
who ran 2nd in both
the 1600 and 3200 meter
runs.
A final reminder of the
combine Men’s League
golf scramble this Sunday,
May 20th, at the Four
Winds Golf Course. Tee
time is 1 p.m. and you
need to let the pro shop

so they can have the teams
