4 Automatic Qualifiers+4 at-large Equals 8 THS Events at State

  TIPTON — The Tipton boy’s track team will be sending eight events to the state track and field meet this week in Des Moines. The Tigers had four automatic qualifiers and four events qualify for the state meet after having one of the next best 8-times statewide. Each state qualifying meet event has the top-two finishers qualify for the state meet and the rest of the state field is made up of the next best 8-times or throws statewide in the particular class.

  Of the automatic qualifiers, Tipton Caleb Shumaker captured the only event win. Shumaker ran to a winning time of 4:40.86. The second place time was 4:48.44. Three THS events were runners-up and thus automatic qualifiers as well. Quinten Mesick was the runner-up in the long jump with a best jump of 20-10.50 to qualify for state. Frank Bierman also qualified for state and was the runner-up in the 110-meter high hurdles in 15.77 and the Tigers 4X800-meter relay team placed second. The team of Shumaker, Bryce Deerberg, Trent Pelzer and Corey Wallick qualified for state by running to a second-place time of 8:21.74.

  Mesick will jump at 2 on Thursday while Shumaker will run on Saturday at 2:22. The Tigers 4X800-meter relay team will run on Thursday at 5:50.
