Apr. 4—JAMESTOWN — Last week, the Jamestown High School track and field teams were planning to be in Valley City on Tuesday and Thursday but a last-minute cancellation shifted their plans.

The Jays pivoted and with the help of some volunteers, the Blue Jays threw together a three-team early bird, outdoor meet at Charlotte and Gordon Hansen Stadium on Thursday afternoon. Edgeley/Kulm and Medina/Pingree-Buchanan were the other two teams competing.

"We started talking about hosting this (meet) last Friday," JHS co-head track and field coach Ken Gardner said "We reached out to Carrington and Valley City originally but they had some other stuff going on so we reached out to Edgeley and Medina and they agreed to come. A three-team meet sounded good to us.

"We haven't had that many meets," he said. "We had a little dual against Valley City indoors and then at the North Dakota State Indoor not every kid was able to compete so we were a little bit limited. At this one, we know that we are hosting and we're getting every kid competing."

The Blue Jays took home the team titles for both the girls and boys on Thursday. The JHS boys squad notched 451 points while the Blue Jay girls earned 307 team points. Gardner and his squad will be back in action next week at an invite at Mandan. The meet is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m.

With a magnitude of athletes competing, the Jays were able to rattle off quite a few first-place finishes. The Blue Jay boys placed first in 18 of the 19 events.

In the 100 meter dash, Henry Yolain crossed the line first with a time of 11.88 seconds. Yolain was followed closely by Sam Mayhair, Tristan Williams, Aiden Skari and Xander Netolicky. Williams also won the 200 meter dash finishing the half lap in 25.42 seconds.

Zeke Barnick of Edgeley/KM was the lone Class B male athlete to earn a first-place finish on Thursday. The senior for the Rebels notched jump of 5 feet, 10 inches over at the high jump pits. Peacemaker Tumukunde and Aiden Skari were not far behind Barnick, finishing with marks of 5 feet, 8 inches.

On the girls side, Allysah Larson had three individual first-place finishes. The senior won the 100, triple jump and long jump. Freshman Layna Hoffer won the high jump and pole vault titles while Julia Skari cruised to a first-place finish in the 100 and 300 hurdles.

In the throws, Kinley Anderson brought home titles in shot and discus and Addison Marker won the javelin contest.

As a team, the Jays qualified 10 athletes to the Class A State Track and Field Meet at the end of May.

All in all, the spur-of-the-moment addition to the schedule, worked out pretty well.

"Who knows, this could be our best weather for a while," Gardner said. "I am glad we were able to take advantage of it. We are really thankful to everyone who helped this come come together at the last minute."

Blue Jay State qualifiers:

Allysah Larson — long jump, triple jump

Julia Skari — 100 hurdles

Kinley Anderson — shot put

Addison Marker — shot put

Jacoby Traut — javelin

Sam Anteau — 3200 meter run

Gradin Thorlakson, Henry Yolain, Sam Mayhair, Ryan Kallenbach — 4x100 meter relay
