BARTLESVILLE AREA SPORTS REPORT
Bartlesville High School’s track season is off and running!
And also jumping, throwing and vaulting.
The Bruins and Lady Bruins seized a handful of championships and top five finishes during Saturday’s Tulsa Union Redhawks Season Opener.
Veteran versatile dynamo Kadance Barnett proved to be almost unbeatable in girls’ competition.
She won the 100m dash, won the high jump, won the long jump and placed second in the girls 200m dash.
Defending state pole vault champion Wesley Turner soared over the bar at 14-feet-even to claim Bartlesville’s only boys’ title. Not only that — teammate Logan Young finished second.
Evelyn Pratt blazed to second place in the girls 400m dash.
In the boys discus, Michael Murphy flexed his muscles to finish third. Cooper Middlebusher earned fifth place in both the boys shot put and discus.
Parker Fielder and Emerson Casey tied for third in the girls pole vault.
Boys distance runner Russell Miller surged to fifth place in both the 800m and 1600m.
Cameron Bishop and Bryce Lee flew to fourth and fifth place, respectively, in the boys high jump.
The girls 4x200m relay team netted fifth place.
Bartlesville finished in the middle of the standings for both the boys and girls divisions, respectively.
