WICHITA -- Earlier in her fledgling pole vault career, Taylor Swanson recalls telling Salina Central vault coach J.D. Garber that by the time she graduated, she'd be clearing 13 feet.
"He said it would never happen," said Swanson, who as a senior entering her final meet this weekend at the Kansas State High School Track and Field Championships would love nothing better than to make him eat his words. "He's going crazy."
Neither were any of his Sacred Heart teammates.
That's certainly not the case in the first year after conference realignment took effect.
LAWRENCE - If more opportunities like this come Ben Hargrave’s way - and his head coach is positive they will - then the Salina South junior can draw from the experience he gained in his 19 holes at Alvamar Golf Course.
But early Monday evening, nearly seven hours after he hit his first tee shot at the Class 5A boys state championship, Hargrave could find little positive from his runner-up finish to Wichita Kapaun’s Sam Stevens.
NEW YORK -- With every out the New York Yankees made and every run they gave up, the boos from the sparse crowd got louder.
