Heights track athletes fall short at sectionals

The Wisconsin Heights track and field teams sent several athletes to the WIAA Division 2 Portage Sectional on May 23. But the Vanguards failed to have anyone advance to this weekend’s state tournament in La Crosse. The top three finishers in each event earned a trip to state. Here’s how the Vanguards fared:   BOYS • Drew Jacobus was ninth in the 300-meter hurdles. • Heights’ 800-meter relay team of Drew Jacobus, Keevon Owen, Evann Cribbs and Cody Blicharz was 10th. • Cody Blicharz was 11th in the 200-meter dash. • Owen was 15th in the 200-meter dash. • The Vanguards’ 3,200-meter relay team of Travis Dreikosen, Tucker Acker, Trevor Baryenbruch and Kirk Caminiti was 15th.   GIRLS • Bryn Meyer was sixth in the 100-meter dash in 12.95 seconds and 10th in the 200. Meyer was also 12th in the 300-meter hurldes, and didn’t record a distance in the long jump. • Izabel Durst was seventh in the 400-meter dash.
