Blair Oaks gears up for today's state track meet

Heading into the district meet two weeks ago, Blair Oaks track coach Mark Keys said the Lady Falcons had a goal of finishing in the top four at the state meet.

Two weeks later?

"I think we're definitely still on track," Keys said.

After winning team titles at the district and sectional meets, the Lady Falcons are set to compete in 10 events at the Class 2 state meet that begins today at Dwight T. Reed Stadium.

Blair Oaks will have chances to score points today in the pole vault, the 4x800-meter relay and the 3,200-meter run.

The 4x800 team of Emily Cumpton, Maggie Dorge, Alyson Jones and Nicole Luckenhoff (10:26.64) finished third at sectionals, as did freshman Jessica Clark in the pole vault (9-6). Cumpton was first in the 3,200 with a time of 12:29.14.

"After those events, if we have 15 points we'll be sitting good," Keys said.
