Quincy's Parker and Fickle, Bronson's Calloway qualify for MHSAA State Track and Field finals


EAST JACKSON – Teams from across the region made the trip to East Jackson High School on May 16 looking both for team and individual postseason glory with the Michigan High School Athletic Association (MHSAA) Division 3 Regional 25 track and field meet.

For athletes to qualify for the MHSAA Division 3 state finals, an individual must finish in the top two of their respective events or meet a pre-determined time or distance for their chosen event.

In team standings the top two teams advance on to the MHSAA State Finals based on points earned throughout the meet. In the girls portion of Friday’s meet none of the three Branch County teams that traveled to East Jackson earned a spot in the state finals, however several individuals did reach that milestone. The team from Grass Lake won the regional girls title on Friday with a score of 84 points while the team from Lumen Christi took second with 64 points. The Quincy Orioles suffered a bit of heartbreak, missing the cut by a single point, finishing in a tie for third place with 63 points. The Orioles tied with Homer for third place in the event. Union City finished in a tie for eighth place with 37 points while Bronson finished in 16th place with 17 points.

Here is a rundown of each Branch County team and their regional effort.

Brookelyn Parker, Jr. – The junior hurdling ace for the Orioles captured not one, but two gold medals on Friday, sweeping up in the hurdle events. Parker won the 100-meter hurdles in a time of 15.98 seconds, followed by a win in the 300 hurdles in a time of 47.38 seconds, punching her individual ticket to the MHSAA state finals for both events.

Ashlyn Fickle, Freshman – Fickle picked the right time to jump to a personal best, doing so on the big stage and earning a trip to the MHSAA state finals in the process as Fickle took third place in the high jump with a state qualifying jump of 5 feet, 2 inches.

The MHSAA presents regional medals for the top eight places in each event. Earning a medal for their effort at the regional meet for Quincy was Elizabeth Longardner, seventh place in the 200; Elizabeth Craig, fourth place in the 400; Lainey Yearling, fifth place in the 3,200; the 800 relay team of Craig, Kora Timmons, Abby Tinervia, and Cheyenne Marske, eighth place; Hallie Jones, third place in the shot put; Addison Hasten, fourth place in the shot put and fourth place in the discus; Brooke McVicker, third place in the pole vault; and Abby Tinervia, sixth place in the long jump.Bronson VikingsAubree Calloway, Sr. – Calloway is the rare athlete who seems to be good no matter what she does.
