Not only did five Skyline jumpers qualify for state — three of them meeting the automatic standard to get in — but they occupy the top four spots and No. 7 in the field of 19. The meet is today and Saturday at Hayward Field on the University of Oregon campus in Eugene. The meet starts at 10:30 a.m. today; on Saturday, field events begin at 10 a.m. and running events at 1 p.m. Fourteen area boys and girls have marks that place them in the top eight in 19 events, suggesting they can make serious bids at qualifying for the finals. In the Class 2A-1A state meet set today and Saturday at Western Oregon University in Monmouth, a handful of other local competitors have similar distinction. Action starts at 11 a.m. today in field events and 2 p.m. on the track. On Saturday, it’s 10 a.m. in field events and 11 a.m. for running events. Advertisement A year ago, the Skyline Conference also sent five triple jumpers to state, and four of them finished in the top seven. Only two of this year’s contingent are repeaters from a year ago: Henley’s Joel Matchett, the Skyline champion and, at 44-8½ , owner of the best mark; and Skyler Morgan, No. 4 at 43-2½ . The others are Hidden Valley’s Nick Hayter, the Skyline runner-up at 43-11, who ranks second among the entries; No. 3 Kyle McKinnis of Phoenix at 43-4½ and No. 7 Ryan Vancleave of Hidden Valley at 42-4½ . Matchett finished second a year ago with a jump of 43-11½ , and Morgan was fifth. Among local 3A entrants, only shot putter Danielle Holmes of Rogue River ranks first in her event. One other besides Hayter ranks second, and that is Illinois Valley hurdler Jessa Fairbanks. Holmes, a junior, set a personal best last weekend at the district meet of 41-4, nearly 2 feet better than her nearest competitor, Sweet Home’s Krystle Streight (39-9). Fairbanks’ time of 47.63 in the girls 300 hurdles is behind only the mark of 45.71 by Sisters’ Jenny Boswell. Fairbanks is fourth in the 110 hurdles at 15.90. Vancleave is No. 3 in the long jump (21-8¼ ). He achieved the mark at district despite battling a bruised heel. He passed on two of his finals jumps and scratched on the other. Jordan Hayter, Nick’s brother, is fourth in the pole vault (13-0), and Michelle Woodall of Rogue River has the fifth-best discus mark of 114-3. Four rank sixth in their events: Illinois Valley’s Sam Green in the boys 300 hurdles (40.98), Rogue River’s Alex Waroff in the boys long jump (21-1¾ ), Hidden Valley’s Aaron Francis in the shot put (48-0) and Illinois Valley’s Emily Dudley in the javelin (122-2). Nick Waroff of Rogue River is seventh in the 400 (51.53) and eighth in the 200 (23.26), while Nick Hayter is seventh in the long jump (21-1), Illinois Valley’s Dalton Reagan is seventh in the javelin (162-1) and Phoenix’s Marci Klimek is seventh in the 800 (2:26.52). Klimek just missed the top eight in the 1,500, where she’s ninth with a time of 5:02. Kayla Wilhelm is eighth in the 300 hurdles with a time of 49.03. In the Class 2A ranks, Liz Tribelhorn of St. Mary’s owns the highest seed, ranking fifth in the 800 with a time of 2:29.74. She also anchors the No. 6 4x400 relay team that clocked 4:20.44. The other members are Mia Rawson, Isabel Keller and Megan Frankel. Similarly, Michael Clark of Cascade Christian is sixth in the 110 hurdles (15.84) and is a member of the No. 6 4x400 relay. His teammates are Josh Smith, Nate Lee and Jordan Ockunzzi. The unit’s mark is 3:35.34. St. Mary’s Tim Kirkpatrick is No. 7 in the 100 (11.44), and Cascade Christian’s Nate Lee is seventh in the 800 (2:05.84). Mike Seus of St. Mary’s is eighth in the 1,500 (4:27.54).
