The Junior Blues posted a total of 11 event wins on the night (six girls, five boys), but more importantly had top-three finishes in 30 events (16 boys,14 girls) en route to a 227-133 win over Seaman for the Washburn Rural boys and a 219-141 victory over the Viking girls in the team standings.
"We do put an emphasis on this meet,'' Rural coach Keith Wetzel said. "We want to keep the golden shoes (championship trophies) in our trophy cases and we talk to the kids about the importance of this meet and doing well at this meet as it really is the beginning of the big four weeks of league, regional and state.
"Everyone contributes and we talk to the kids about how we need our depth and our depth is an advantage. Our kids have just been steadily improving each week and quietly putting together really good seasons.''

Highlights for the Rural boys included a city-meet record from Matthew Houser, Liam Morrison, Draden Chooncharoen and Isaiah Terry in the 4x400-meter relay (3:19.01) and a meet record in the open 400 from Terry (48.37) as well as a pair of wins from Morrison in the 110 hurdles (14.64) and 300 hurdles (38.83) and a victory in the 4x800 relay (8:16.84).

On the girls side, Rural got a pair of wins from wins from Molly Worley in the high jump (5-4) and the long jump (17-7.75), a school-record victory from Morgan Ray in the javelin (135-2), a win from Kailyn Petersen in the discus (126-5), a one-two-three finish in the 1,600 from Payton Fink (5:08.00), Rylee Ismert (5:19.84) and Brooklyn Nolte (5:21.55) and a win from Ismert in the 800 (2:21.99).
Other top performances:

• Seaman junior Ryin Miller set city meet records in the girls 400 and 3,200 while also anchoring the Vikings' 4x400 relay to a victory.
Miller set the city record in the 400 in 56.81, which was also a school record, and obliberated the 39-year-old 3,200 meet record by 55 seconds with a winning time of 10:23.26.
Miller also teamed with Taylie Heston, Jaida Stallbaumer and Ally Steiner for a win in the 4x400 relay in 4:09.05 while Stallbaumer had a hand in three wins on the night, sweeping the titles in the 100 hurdles (15.88) and 300 hurdles (47.63).
The highlight of Miller's day was her performance in the open 400, an event she rarely runs and is not scheduled to run again this spring.
"That was kind of my goal of the night, to try to shoot for our school record in that,'' Miller said. "I think I just beat it so I was happy with that and also got the meet record, so that was kind of a bonus.
"The 400 was definitely my main focus tonight.''

• Topeka West senior Adrian Lehman overcame a strong field to sweep the boys 1,600 and 3,200, clocking a time of 4:18.07 in the 1,600 and a time of 9:40.93 in the 3,200.
Lehman came from behind to top Wasbhburn Rural standout Brooks Kehoe (4:19.77) in the 1,600 and took control on the final laps to pull away from Rural's Henry Laubach (9:46.51) in the 3,200.
"I felt good,'' Lehman said. "I really wanted to have a stronger mile (1,600) and then come out and just win the two mile (3,200), so I'm happy with how it went.''
Lehman said that it's enjoyable for him to be able to see all the top local distance runners together in the city meet.
"I love seeing these guys, seeing how they've progressed through this year and it's just a lot of fun racing them,'' Lehman said. "They're my friends, too, so it's fun seeing them.''
Lehman's West teammate, Mark Wilkie, finished second in the 800 (1:58.81) and third in the 1,600 (4:22.29).
• Silver Lake's girls turned in a solid third-place team finish with 101 points, including a on-two-three finish from Ali Gerber (33-6), Kailyn Hanni (33-4) and Kylie Podlena (32-6) in the triple jump.
The Eagles also got second-place finishes from Kayleigh Kruger in the shot put (32-10) and the discus (112-7) while Journey Manhart finished second in the high jump (5-2).
On the boys side, Myles Fisher was the discus champion (141-6).

Seaman junior track star Ryin Miller continues to carve out her place among Kansas' all-time greats and took a major step in that journey in the Bob Camien/Claudia Welch Relays.

The Viking four-sport athlete captured three gold medals in Friday's 30-school meet while setting meet records in the 1,600 and 800-meter runs and climbing to the No. 2 spot on Kansas' all-time list in both events.
Miller said she does pay attention to where she ranks all-time as she continues to re-adjust her goals.
"Sometimes I kind of use it as motivation,'' Miller said. "If I'm having a day where I'm like, 'Man, I just don't feel like running,' I kind of remember (the all-time list) and remember that I've been chasing that and working for that all winter, so I definitely look at that.''
Miller began her record-setting day with a dominating 24-second win in the 1,600 in 4 minutes, 41:47, eclipsing the previous meet record by more than nine seconds.
Miller moved from fourth to second on the all-time list and now trails only former Shawnee Mission West star Ali Cash, who clocked a 4:38.28 in a time that was converted from yards (4:39.98) to meters.
Later in the evening, Miller got a battle from Leavenworth's Kelsie Kudzia for much of the race in the 800 before Miller took control down the stretch to win in 2:09.28. Kudzia was second in 2:11.20, moving into the No. 9 spot all-time.
"Kelsie is one of my teammates for Hot Beat, so it's always fun to race against her,'' Miller said. "She's been getting progressively better every meet so it's been fun to see that and kind of cheer her on.
"It was definitely nice to have her kind of on my heels and push me to finally break 2:10.''
Miller topped the previous meet record, set by former Seaman star Bethany Druse in 2022, by nearly six seconds while moving from fifth to second all-time.
Miller now sits No. 2 in the 800 behind former Shawnee Heights star Trisa Nickoley, who ran a 2:06.67 in 2004.
In the final girls event of the night Miller teamed with seniors Taylie Heston, Jaida Stallbaumer and Ally Steiner to win the 4x400 relay in 4:04.86, with Miller running the anchor leg.
Other meet highlights:
• Topeka High sophomore Ahsieyrhuajh Rayton was a double individual winner Friday, sweeping the long jump and triple jump titles while setting a school record in the process.

Rayton, who already held the school record in the triple jump, went 18 feet, 6 inches on Friday's final attempt to set the High long jump mark and win the event.
"It felt good,'' Rayton said. "My team motivated me to jump because I scratched both of my first two jumps, so my confidence got low, but they told me that I know how to jump and I just went out and gave it my best effort.''
Rayton only got off one jump in the triple jump before aggravating a leg injury in the 4x100 relay but won the event with an effort of 38 feet, 3.25 inches.
• Washburn Rural star senior sprinter Isaiah Terry has been locked in a battle with Hayden's Jensen Schrickel for the Shawnee County lead in the 400-meter dash this spring, with both standouts holding the top spot at different times.

Schrickel, who competed at Shawnee Heights Friday, took a slight lead into the week, but Terry regained the lead with a winning time of 48.20 seconds Friday night at Seaman.
"I pay attention to where I am compared to everyone else,'' Terry said. "I love comp. I think I run my best when I'm going against people who run the same time as me, so I honestly hope I get to race (Schrickel) and other fast people because that's going to make me my best.''
Terry's win in the 400 was one of two big highlights on the night, with Terry teaming with Matthew Houser, Liam Morrison and Draden Chooncharoen to win the 4x400 relay in a meet-record time of 3 minutes, 20.70 seconds.
Rural, which won by more than nine seconds, broke the previous meet record, a 3:21.8 by Topeka High in 1992, by more than a second.
• Seaman's Bryce Cochran won the boys 200-meter dash in 21.87 seconds and finished third in the 400 in 49.06.
Peyton Holmes took second in the 100 dash in 10.73.

• Topeka West's Adrian Lehman and Mark Wilkie went one-two in the 1,600 meters, with Lehman winning in 4:20.80 and Wilkie second in 4:24.81.
Wilkie also finished second in the 800 in 1:57.23 while Lehman placed third behind Washburn Rural's Brooks Kehoe (9:16.96) in the 3,200 (9:16.98).

Not everything went Washburn Rural's way in Thursday's city boys tennis tournament, but advancing to the finals in all four divisions was enough to give the Junior Blues a second straight city team championship at Kossover Tennis Center.
Washburn Rural dropped tight decisions in both the No. 1 singles and doubles championship matches, but the Junior Blues swept both No. 2 titles on the way to a 32-23 margin over runnerup Seaman while Topeka High was a point behind the Vikings in third place.

Rural got a title from Greyson Jones in No. 2 singles and from Ben Tryhus and Kieffer O'Connor in No. 2 doubles while while Keegan Knudtson was the No. 1 singles runnerup and Cale Deutscher and Dylan Willingham finished second in No. 1 doubles.
"We're a young team, we're still piecing together who's fitting with who and what arrangements work best for the team as opposed to the individual and we've come a long way since the first practice,'' said Michelle Rose, who is in her first season as Rural's coach.
"They're excited, I'm excited for them. I think we've got great opportunities ahead of us and it's going to be fun. We have incredible talent in boys tennis in Topeka.''
Individually, Thursday was a big day for Topeka High junior Tres Lassiter in singles and the Cair Paravel doubles team of juniors Eric Buchenau and Drew Fay.

Lassiter, in his first season of high school tennis, won the city championship in No. 1 singles with a 7-6 (8-6 tiebreaker), 6-4 win over Washburn Rural's Knudtson.
"This was one of my goals to win city,'' Lassiter said. "This was a big goal. I'm enjoying my high school season. I have a winning record right now and that's all I wanted this season, was just to have a winning record.
"Every day when I'm at practice my coach (Duane Pomeroy) and my teammates are getting me better and that gives me confidence for these up and coming meets that I'm about to do.''

Cair Paravel's Fay and Buchenau, a foreign exchange student from Germany, captured the No. 1 doubles title with a 6-4, 7-6 (7-4 tiebreaker) win over Washburn Rural's Deutscher and Willingham.
Fay had finished second in the city meet and fourth in Class 3A-1A in singles as a sophomore before making the decision to switch to doubles this spring.
"I want to play college tennis and you need to be able to play doubles to play college tennis,'' Fay said. "I wanted to get that experience and I also thought it would be fun and it's been a lot of fun.''
Fay and Buchenau are now 20-1 on the season after Thursday's hard-fought win over Deutscher and Willingham.
"We just wanted to stay level, play hard and whatever happened would happen,'' Fay said. "We didn't want to go out there and play scared and if we didn't play scared we would have been happy with the result. This was our best match of the year, so it gives us a lot of confidence.''
Seaman finished second as a team on the strength of three top-three finishes.
Ethan Winter placed third in No. 1 singles while Camden Dutton was the runnerup in No. 2 singles and the Vikings also finished second in No. 2 doubles.

LaBarge went 3 for 3 with three home runs and seven runs batted in as Washburn took an 8-0 five-inning decision in the first game and added a homer in the second game as the Hornets captured a 4-2 eight-inning win.

Highland Park sophomore soccer star Micah Williams has been selected by the Dan Key Farmers Insurance Agency as the Rising Star of the Week.
The Dan Key Agency will recognize top Shawnee County underclassmen throughout the bulk of the 2024-2025 school year.
Here’s a brief look at the accomplishments of Williams over the past week:

MICAH WILLIAMS, Highland Park
Williams scored 13 goals in two Highland Park soccer wins on the week, raising her season total to 20 goals.
Williams, a first-team All-City pick as a freshman in 2024, scored six goals in Tuesday's 7-2 home Meadowlark Conference victory over Kansas City-Washington on Tuesday and followed that up with a seven-goal performance in Thursday's 7-4 conference road win over KC-Wyandotte as Highland Park improved to 3-6-1 on the season.
Williams now has 43 goals in her career for the Scots.

After a slow start to Thursday's non-league girls soccer match against Olathe West, Washburn Rural put itself in position to pull out a victory before dropping a heartbreaking 2-1 overtime decision to the Owls at McElroy Field.

Rural rallied from a 1-0 halftime deficit to knot the game and had several near-misses in the second half before Olathe West junior Molly Collins scored the golden goal with just 13 seconds remaining in the first 10-minute overtime period.
"A tough game,'' Washburn Rural coach Brian Hensyel said. "We didn't get off to the start we wanted to. I thought we had some chances early to maybe grab a lead and then they got the first goal, so anytime you're playing from behind it makes life a little tougher.
"I liked in the second half how we came out and got an early goal and really battled. I thought there was about a 20-minute stretch there where we were maybe going to get another one and then both teams kind of got tired and when you get to overtime anything can happen.''
Owl senior Kinzie Taylor scored with 18:42 left in the first half to put Olathe West (5-3-1) in front 1-0 and that lead held up through halftime before Junior Blue senior star Kate Hinck scored on an outstanding individual effort to tie the game with 33:31 left in regulation.
Rural (7-2-0) put together multiple scoring threats the rest of the way, including a flurry of shots late in regulation, but was unable to find the back of the net and the game went to OT.

But it's also rare to see an athlete like Seaman junior star Ryin Miller, who pulled off the improbable feat in Thursday's Jerry Beardslee Invitational at Washburn Rural before ending her day with a come-from-behind anchor leg to give the Vikings a win in the 4x400 relay.
Miller regularly runs the 4x4 for the Vikings, but decided that she wanted to try the open 400 for the first time in Thursday's meet with an eye on the school record
"I have a lot of fun in the 4x4, I just really enjoy that race,'' Miller said. "In the open 4 our school record is 56.6 and in our relay I have a split of 56.3, so I kind of just wanted to try for it just for fun and see what I could do with (starting) blocks.''
Miller came up just short in her record bid, but still won by right at two seconds in a time of 57.65 seconds.
"It was pretty good,'' Miller said. "I think I'll get (the record) at some point in the season but it was just kind of for fun.''
Later in the meet Miller switched back to distance mode to post a 53-second win in the 3,200 in 10 minutes, 26.65 seconds before going back to sprint mindset to team with senior teammates Taylie Heston, Jaida Stallbaumer and Ally Steiner to win the 4x400 relay in 4:08.24.
"I've just got to remember to switch my brain as far as the speed goes,'' Miller said about her diverse schedule. "Just running the 400 and then I've got to lock in for 3,200 obviously it's way different. But I kind of like mixing it up. It kind of keeps things interesting I guess.''

Ismert opens '25 with pair of wins
After ending last fall's cross country season with the most successful stretch of her high school career, Washburn Rural senior Rylee Ismert couldn't wait to get back in action.
Ismert, who won Centennial League and regional titles in cross country and finished third in Class 6A, finally got that opportunity in Thursday's Jerry Beardslee Invitational, posting victories in the 1,600 (5:17.72) and the 800 (2:23.09).
"I kind of had that feeling of like, 'I just want to get back out there and race again,' but I just kept doing what I was doing and working really hard and training with my teammates over the offseason,'' Ismert said.
"I was very excited to be out there.''
Washburn Rural's girls also got wins from junior Kelcie Schneider in the 100 hurdles (18.31), sophomore Kailyn Petersen in the shot put (34-9) and junior Morgan Ray in the javelin (124-1).

Terry paces Rural boys
Washburn Rural senior Isaiah Terry was a double gold medalist in Thursday's Jerry Beardslee Invitational, winning the 400-meter dash and running on the Junior Blues' winning 4x400 relay.
Terry sped to a win in the 400 in 48.68 seconds and teamed with Matt Houser, Jackson Svaty and Liam Morrison to win the 4x400 relay in 3:25.46.
The Junior Blues also got a win from freshman Henry Laubach in the 3,200 (9:55.41).
