Sapp’s 1600 meet record survives at Carthage

April 3, 2019
Lee Stubblefield

             Sometimes sports, and especially Track and Field meets, are remembered for what didn’t happen instead of what did. Jim Ryun never won an Olympic gold medal. Steve Prefontaine failed to medal in the 1972 Munich Olympics and died tragically in a car accident in 1975.
             At last Thursday’s annual Carthage Invitational, Clayton Whitehead, of Carthage, won the 1600 meter run on a blustery night, running an excellent 4:27.99. But it was short of the Carthage meet record of 4:26.7 set in 2002 by Southwest’s Cody Sapp which is also still the Southwest School record.
             By late May, when runners are peaking for State competition, a slew of runners will best that mark. The remarkable thing about Sapp’s record is how early in the season it came. On a side note, it was the only sub-4:30 race of Sapp’s high school career, a career that included three All State 1600 meter performances.
             The Monett Cubs came away from Carthage with three medals in fierce competition.
             Kelsey Dalton took second in the girls 100 meter dash in 13.34, and Keisha George finished third in the girls 400 meter dash in 1:04.09.
             Senior Luke Alcock led the Cubs in the boys division, clearing 12-06 for third in the pole vault.
Aurora Ice Box Relays
             Cassville thinclads cleaned up at Thursday’s lightly attended Ice Box Relays at Aurora, earning gold medals in 17 events.  The Lady Wildcats took first place as a team.
             Three Cassville girls were double winners in individual events. Parker Marple won both the 200 and 400 meter dashes. Jordyn Stafford won the 1600 and 3200 meter runs, Kyren Postlewait bested the field in both the long jump and the shot, an unusual double.
             The Cassville boys boys also won as a team. The Wildcats started off the meet with field event victories by Nathan Dick in the pole vault and Garrett Kritz in the shot. Wildcats won both hurdle events with Drake Reese taking the 110 meter highs and Devon Brookes winning the 300 meter lows. Jericho Ferris won the 100 meter dash and Pace Evans won the 1600 meter run.
Republic Classic
             Southwest and Wheaton travelled east on Monday, March 25 to participate in the Republic Classic.
             Seniors John Scannell and Trevor Sneed led Southwest with their second and third place finishes. Scannell claimed silver in the high hurdles with his 17.51 effort, and Sneed grabbed bronze in the 400 meter dash in 55.80.
             Brylee Wilson led the Southwest girls with two fourth place finishes. She ran 2:55.85 in the 800 meter run and cleared 4-02 in the high jump.
Wheaton was led by Zoie Simpson, who took fourth in the girls javelin with a throw of 84-08.00.
             Ricky Miller scored for Wheaton in the boys' high jump, clearing 5-04 for fifth place, and Marek Smith finished fifth in the 3200 meter run in 11:15.09.
