Allysah Larson breaks records, Harty, Yolain qualify for State

Apr. 12—MANDAN — Allysah Larson has got her name in the Jamestown High School track and field record books.

Larson, a senior for the Jays, set a new outdoor school record in the triple jump at the Shannon Gangl Memorial Invitational Track Meet in Mandan on Friday. Larson's jump of 37 feet, 6 inches, was not only enough to win the event, but it was also enough to eclipse Michelle Burgard's previous record of 37-02.25 set in 2003.

The senior was one of many Blue Jays who outdid themselves on Friday. As a team, the Blue Jay girls placed third with 110 points.

In addition to winning triple jump, Larson also took home titles in the 100 and 200 meter dash. Julia Skari cleaned up in the hurdles winning both the 110 and 300 meter contests posting times of 16.19 and 47.72 seconds respectively.

In the throws, Kinley Anderson picked up second-place finishes in shot put, discus and javelin. Addison Marker placed third in discus and Kendyl Anderson recorded a second-place finish in the javelin.

Freshman Layna Hoffer placed first in the high jump, clearing the bar at 5 feet, 2 inches. Hayden Olson was fourth in long jump, making her mark at 16 feet, 1 inch.

As for the boys, the Blue Jays added two more state qualifiers to their list.

Henry Yolain's 23.26-second performance in the 200 meter dash solidified his spot at the Class A Meet in late May.

Brady Harty will also be representing the Blue Jays at State. Harty posted a time of 41.80 seconds in the 300 hurdles which not only qualified him for State but also won him the event.

Sam Anteau placed second in the 1600 meter run with a time of 4 minutes, 39.42 seconds. Gradin Thorlakson finished fourth in the 400 crossing the line at 54.59 seconds.

The Blue Jays are slated to be back in action at a meet in Carrington on Tuesday beginning at 2 p.m.
