Very good day for Sikeston. Beautiful, perfect weather for track until it started raining later in the day. Lane busted a 24'9" long jump and had another jump of 25'5" but he scratched by just an inch or two. Just ridiculous.

Sikeston's girls 4 x 200 relay also took first place and freshman Betsy Borgsmiller got 2nd in the high jump.
