Butler Bears vs. Adrian Blackhawks Track Results

by Aaron Allen

Last Thursday the Butler Bears Track Team traveled to Adrian. We have been extremely lucky with the weather and the athletes are putting up good times. With golf and minor injuries happening we were at half squad for this meet. When meets like this happen, it allows others kids to step up and play bigger roles on our team. I thought everyone responded well with the last minute adjustments. The Butler Bears took an overall of 3rd place.

Here are the athletes who helped their team score points in that 3rd place finish:

100m Dash – Ben Holt – 5th place

400m Dash – Tanner Diehl – 2nd place

110m Hurdles – Connor Sparks – 6th place

300m Hurdles – Devan Loveall – 1st place with a new PR time of 42.63, Connor Sparks – 4th place

4×100 Relay – 2nd place – Seth Stump, Dylan Morris, Ben Holt, Kaleb Kauffman

4×200 Relay – 1st place with a time of 1:35.52- Devan Loveall, Dylan Morris, Tanner Diehl, Kaleb Kauffman

4×400 Relay – 3rd place – Devan Loveall, Ethan Gardner, Tanner Diehl, Dylan Morris

4×800 Relay – 8th place – Bram Hubbard, Reid Davis, Tayje VanVoorst, Aziah VanVoorst

High Jump – Kaleb Kauffman – 5th place

Pole Vault – 1st place with a vault of 11’3″ – Ethan Gardner, Brett Behringer – 6th place

Long Jump – Kaleb Kauffman – 4th place

Triple Jump – Dylan Morris – 8th place
