Teammate Keeley Shaw earned third place with a 13’1” jump. Lady Bomber Paige Schaffter finished in fourth with 12’9”.
Kaitlyn Sonneberger won the discus with a throw of 65’7”. Fellow Bomber Autumn Joice wasn’t far behind at 62’2”.

While Edon won the meet, North Central gave them a difficult test, as did Evergreen. A lack of numbers on the part of the Lady Eagles may have impacted the outcome, as it would have been interesting to see what the girls of Pioneer might have been able to accomplish with as many competitors as the other two schools were able to field.
