DES MOINES — Kiersten Fisher was far from pleased with her performance at the Drake Relays earlier this spring.

Now, the Southeast Valley sophomore gets the chance to leave Drake Stadium with better results.

Fisher qualified for the Class 2A state meet in four events. She will be competing in the 100 and 200 prelims on Thursday, the 100 hurdle prelims on Friday, and the high jump final on Friday as well.

“I am so excited to go back to the blue oval,” Fisher said. “After the Drake Relays, I really want to redeem myself.

“For the prelims and finals, I try my best to treat it like any other track meet. I try to not let the nerves get to me and just go out and run for myself and to better myself.”

Fisher had a strong state meet as a ninth-grader, placing second in the 100, third in the 100 hurdles and fifth in the high jump.

“Having experience from last year definitely helps,” Fisher said. “I know what to expect and know how everything goes. Now, it’s just time to go and give it everything I’ve got.”

Humboldt’s Kendal Clark positioned herself in the 3A discus with a record-breaking throw of 132-7 at districts. She will be joined by teammates Carlie Thompson (100), Paige DeWinter (200), Bryce Gidel (3000) and Lily Groat (400 hurdles), along with the 4×100 and distance medley relays that include Jori Hajek, Claire Varangkounh, Kailee Dettman, Mady Lange and Kirstyn Beaman.

South Central Calhoun’s Jade Ridgely is another multi-event qualifier, as the Titan is set to run the 100, 200 and 400 in 2A. Kaylynn Ridgely is qualified in the long jump.

Newell-Fonda set three school relay records this year in the sprint medley, 4×400 and 4×800. Macy Sievers, Emma Stewart, Ella Larsen and Maggie Walker went 1:54.78 at districts in the sprint medley, with Bailey Sievers, Macy Sievers, Olivia Larsen and Walker going 4:13.14 in the 4×400.

Sievers, Megan Morenz, Camryn Wilken and Bailey Sievers finished the 4×800 in 10:16.32. The Mustangs set a new record for events qualified with nine, shattering the previous school mark of six.

Rachel Fehr from West Bend-Mallard boasts one of the top 400 times in 1A a year after placing second in the event at state. The Wolverine sprint medley relay of Kayla Hoskins, Kara Fehr, Isabell Gehrt and Rachel Fehr is also a state contender.
