CHAPPELL – A beautiful day with little wind set the stage for the D9 District Meet at Creek Valley High School on May 8, and it was the Leyton Lady Warriors who came out as the big winners out of the Cheyenne County schools that competed.
For the boys, Creek Valley did not qualify any of the boys’ squad, and Leyton had one qualifier, senior Kaleb Borges, who’s second-place finishes qualified him in both the 110 Meter Hurdles and 300 Meter Hurdles. Potter-Dix had two qualifiers with junior Dawsen Monheiser’s first-place shot put effort earning him a trip to Omaha, and sophomore Landon Gasseling’s first-place finish in High Jump also earning him a trip to Omaha.
