Colby girls, Ulysses boys repeat again as GWAC Track champs

Hugoton, Kan. (westernkansasnews.com)–For a pair of seniors, it’s been a memorable career. For Scott City’s Kelly Wycoff and Holcomb’s Heath Tucker, all they saw in Hugoton on Thursday was gold. 

Wycoff swept the 100, 200 and 400m dashes at Hugoton at the Great West Activities Conference meet. Not only was she dominant in those three races, she’s been the only winner of those three races in the GWAC, dating back to 2011. Her fourth gold medal of the day came in the 4x400m relay. She wrapped up her time in all four GWAC meets winning 15 out of 16 events that she participated in.

Heath Tucker was a four-event winner, sweeping the 110m high hurdles and 300m intermediate hurdles, and picked up a win in the 200m dash and the long jump. In all but the long jump, Tucker broke the league meet records. He has been the three time GWAC 110m hurdle champion, as well as the two time league 300m hurdle title winner.

Also multiple gold medal winners on the day included Hugoton’s Issac Castro in the 1600 and 3200m runs, Scott City’s Brett Meyer in the 800m run and the 4×400 and 4x800m relays, Brayden Strine in the 400m dash, and the 4×400 and 4x800m relays, and Bailey Nickel claimed golds in the 100m high hurdles, as well as the 4x400m relay. For Ulysses, they got multiple golds from Jessica Arnold in the 300m low hurdles and the 4x100m relay, Chisholm Branscum in the 800m and 1600m runs, and Ian Rudzik in the shot put and 4x100m relay.

Colby’s girls won their sixth straight league team title, including all four in the GWAC, while the Ulysses boys rolled to their third straight league track crown.

Regionals are on Friday, May 23, as Colby, Goodland and Scott City head to the 4A Abilene Regional, Hugoton and Ulysses will travel to the 4A Clearwater Regional, and Holcomb is in the 3A Cimarron Regional.
