The Guthrie track program stayed close to home with a trip to the Edmond Memorial Invitational Track Meet after spending the first few events in the Tulsa area.
Senior Rachel Roberts and the Lady Jays will compete at Douglass this Friday. The senior will run next season at Harding University.
Galbreath, a freshmen, and the rest of the 100 meter competitors were forced to race twice because times were not able to be retrieved. Galbreath won the first race as well.
Senior Rachel Roberts ran a 12:39.09 in the 3200 meter race and was good enough for sixth overall. Roberts time was 18 seconds off the winning time in the strong 6A field.
Fellow senior Alexis Daniels finished in a tie for third in the high jump with a leap of 4 feet and 10 inches. Erin Perring and CC Bates competed in the discus and finished seventh and eighth respectively. Perring had a toss of 101-01 and Bates with a 95-02.
Robinson collected a time of 10.81 and was just .02 faster than Southmoore’s Julian Wilson. Wilson is a University of Oklahoma football signee. Robinson has won the 100 meter race in each competition he has competed in this season.
Robinson’s 100 meter win collected 10 points for the Jays, and as a team finished fourth overall in the heavy 6A field. In fact, the junior was responsible for 26 of the Jays 48 total points.
The host team, Memorial, took top honors with a score of 155, Santa Fe second (147), Southmoore (62), and Guthrie (48). The Jays were without a few distance runners as they competed for the soccer team in Coweta.
Robinson, who won the 5A 110 meter hurdles at state last season as a sophomore, collected a second place finish and eight points with a time of 14.39. Edmond Santa Fe’s Gunnar Nixon, who many say is the best in the state, was .08 quicker for the top spot. This was the first event of the season for Robinson not to claim the top spot in the 110 meter hurdles.
Robinson collected eight more points by finishing second in the 200 meter dash in a time of 22.37. He was .10 slower than Southmoore’s D’Vante Henry. Dustin Bohanan’s, Guthrie’s all state football selection, earned two points with a fifth place finish.
In other individual races, Jonathan Ogan was seventh in the 1600 meter, Walker Cross finished eighth in the 3200 meter, and Zac Brown shot a 43-06 in the shot put to finish eighth.
In relay races, the 4 x 100 team of Robinson, Bohanan, Chaunsey Dumas, and Corbin Crockett finished second (42.50) behind Southmoore (42.25). The 4 x 800 Guthrie relay team finished fifth overall with a time of 8.50.09.
