SPEARFISH | Beautiful weather played a role in a big day for area teams and athletes at the Queen City Track and Field Meet at Lyle Hare Stadium on Friday.
Sturgis pole vaulter Klara Lyon set the school record in the pole vault for the second straight weekend and the Custer boys posted a new school mark in the 4×800-meter relay to go with another strong team-wide performance from the Central Cobblers, who won 10 different events.
Lyon set the Scoopers’ school record in the pole vault at 11 feet, 7 inches at last week’s Rapid City Developmental Meet and added another 3 inches to it this week to win the event again.
“I have to give all my credit to my coach,” Lyon said of former school record holder Kristi Cammack. “She’s the one who told me that I would break her school record some day and it’s pretty amazing that she ended up being exactly right.” more
