HART – With a team made up of mostly freshman and sophomores, Walkerville’s track and field program is bound to experience exponential growth in 2025. That started with several personal records (PR) at the Hart & Sole Music Invite, Saturday, April 12.
The Wildcats had 22 PR marks recorded on Saturday, highlighted by a pair of top 10 finishes.
For the boys, sophomore Logan Hill recorded a PR time of 24.25 in the 110-meter hurdles, slotting him in 10th place. On the girls team, freshman Isabel Babbin had a PR toss of 26 feet, 11 inches in shot put, landing a ninth place finish. Babbin also recorded three other PRs, including a 56’9’ discus toss, a 19.06 finish in the 100 and a 41.98 finish in the 200.
Marrison Simpson recorded four PR marks on the day to lead all Wildcats. Simpson competed in the 100, 200, 400 and discus. Collin Mannor set three new PRs in the 100, 400 and long jump, while Nathanial Peterson (shot put and discus), Zander Bajtka (200 and 400), Ayla White (1600 and discus) and Izybelle Ashbrook (shot put and discus) all set two new PRs.
Walkerville will now look to compete with conference opponents as they enter a stretch of West Michigan D League jamborees.
