Benson earns run at state meet

Freshman Madi Benson has begun to develop her speed in the 400m all season. After a district championship in that event, Benson took her talent to the Regional Meet in Canyon at WTAMU last week where she captured third place with a time of 1:00.33 just a half of a second out of first place.
Benson was sixth in the prelims with a time of 1:03.46. Benson’s third place finish earned her the wild card to compete in the state meet May 11-13.
The Lady Bronco mile relay competed in the meet and finished 10th in the prelims with a time of 4:28.11 and was run by Kenidee Hayes, Berkley Moore, Elliot Frausto, and Benson. The 400m relay also ran and finished 13th in the prelims. Running that relay was Moore, Hayes, Baylee Gabel, and Benson. Frausto also ran the 800m at a time of 2:36.87 which was good enough for 11th place.
On the men’s side, Kaleb Bolin ran the 400m dash in a time of 54.23 in the prelims for 10th place.
Lyric Smith placed sixth in the high jump with a jump of 6’ and turned in a distance of 20’3 ¼” in the long jump.
