Over the weekend, Bartlesville High track and field qualified 12 student athletes for State during Regionals. The usual suspects who got in for BHS included a pair of jumpers and long-distance runners who have been in contention for championships this entire spring. Head coach David Ayres talks about a few of the relay teams who are headed to State this weekend.
One of the athletes to watch will be Gentry Turner, who is expected to be the favorite to win the two-mile at State this weekend. Turner is also one of only a couple girls who have run a sub-five-minute mile so far this season. Ayres discusses a few other Bartlesville qualifiers who will be competing at the 6A State competition on Friday and Saturday in Oklahoma City.
