Brogan Rowley has admired watching Tyus Wilson jump. The admiration began when Wilson was a Sterling Black Bear and now Nebraska Cornhusker.
Later this week, the Ell-Saline junior attempts to break Wilson’s Class 2A high jump record in a regional meet at Jeff County North.
“My next goal is 7-2 at state to beat Tyus Wilson’s state record,” said Rowley, who set a personal record with a 7-foot clearance in last Friday’s Heart of America Conference meet at Moundridge.

Just call Mayce Russell the Mean Macksville Machine.
And that machine will be steamrolling northward towards Salina next August when she begins her collegiate track career as a Kansas Wesleyan Coyote.
“It is extremely exciting,” Russell said of competing in the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference. “I’m nervous to compete at the next level of course, but KWU feels like the right fit for me and I’m looking forward to this next chapter of my academic and athletic career.”

MANHATTAN - It took 27 years for the Manhattan High girls 100-meter dash record to fall.
It took junior Hanna Pellant just 20 minutes to break the 1997 mark twice between prelims and finals.
“It’s incredible but it won’t be the only time she does that,” MHS 100 teammate Harli Omli said.
“The day I broke the MHS 100m school record was an amazing day,” Pellant said. “I had a feeling I was going to break it, but you never know for sure until you run it.”
For the past 50 years, Bennington’s Vic Bulleigh and Bob Harmon have been next door neighbors, a strong indicator they get along, which is good, given that for 35 of those 50 years they’ve kept the varsity scorebook and clock as a team for Bulldog basketball games.
Harmon was a teacher at Bennington, where he molded young minds for over 40 years, while Bulleigh worked in fabrication for Premier Pneumatics, also for four decades.
Both are now retired, but not from their familiar Tuesday and Friday night seats in the winter, ones they’ve consistently been in since 1989.

Like Timex watches, Hillsboro Trojan junior Seth Driggers takes a licking but more importantly keeps on ticking as the Timex commercials once said.
Last year he injured his hip in the back half of the track season while triple jumping. That injury only worsened by regionals.
“At the regional meet, even though I should have had the marks to make state, I fractured my hip coming out of the blocks for the 200 and the season ended there,” Driggers said.
