DALLAS -- Dallas' track team finished the regular season May 7 at Gallaspy Field with a dual meet against Lebanon.
Dallas' girls scored a 94-53 win, but Lebanon prevailed 81-65 in the final action for both squads before the Mid-Willamette Conference meet May 13-14 at Western Oregon's MacArthur Field.
"It was a tuneup for the district meet," Dragons coach Brodie Unger said. "It wasn't exactly what I was looking for in the last league meet. Looking at some of our times and places, we didn't do as well as we could have. We kind of let the weather dictate how we did."
Shelby Sayer had a typically productive day for Dallas, winning the 100 hurdles in 16.1 and the 300 hurdles in 48.7. DHS freshman Hannah Frederick was second in the two events with times of 17.6 and 51.6, respectively.
Erica Kreiley again captured first in all three throwing events. She had marks of 33-5 in the shot put, 115-3 in the discus and 124-7 in the javelin. Her javelin throw was about four feet better than her previous top mark.
Rachel Gordon cleared 8-6 for first in the pole vault, and Malena Thackeray was second at 8-0.
Kendra Kuust won the 800 with a clocking of 2:36.8 and was the runner-up in the triple jump with an effort of 30-2.5.
Dakota Magden placed first in the 3,000 in 12:36.0 and ran second in the 1,500 with a time of 5:46.7. Kara Kuust ran a 5:40.7 for first in the 1,500.
Lexi Pola won the 100 in 13.2 and ran second in the 400 with a time of 62.8. Freshman Samantha Skinner took second in the 200 with a time of 29.2.
For the boys, Gauje Rush of DHS ran first in the 1,500 with a time of 4:37.9, and Ty Tietjen's 2:07.5 was good for first place in the 800.
Shaun Speelman took the top spot in the 300 hurdles in 42.4.
Dallas' Michael Beaton (43-11), Matt Jackson (41-5) and Logan Stewart (40-11) took the top thre places in the shot put.
Micah Swan won the discus with a toss of 123-8, and Stewart was second at 115-4.
Kyle Beck had a season-best effort of 141-4 for first in the javelin.
Josh Francom took second in the high jump by clearing 5-2, and Austin Markee's mark of 11-6 was good for second in the pole vault.
The top two finishers in each event at the league meet will advance to the state meet the following week at Hayward Field in Eugene.
"I've been really excited to see how the kids have bounced back this week," Unger said. "Our kids usually don't have two bad meets in a row. I'm excited to see our kids get back on the track and compete."
