62 athletes out for Day 1 of XC training at 7am! It’s going to be a great season!!💪💪 @GEHSAthletics

The last time Blazer pole vaulters went 1-2-3 at state was 2009–Isaac Mallory, Casey Bowen, Kyle Wait. Karter Kueser, Mason Hill & Ben Karlin went 1-2-2 Saturday, 16 years later. Epic. Legends ALL. @sportsinkansas @kansasrunning @polevaultpower @KansasMileSplit @GEHSAthletics

This means everything to a head coach. Thank you, boys. 🤝🫡

To the state athletes who did not have the performance they wanted: know that you were there. You put in great work throughout the season and you competed amongst the very best the state has to offer! The journey can be celebrated without a medal. We are proud. Go Blazers! 🤘

A big performance by sophomore Natalie Campbell today in pole vault, clearing 11-0 & earning 5th place! Great work for this first time state qualifier. 🤝💪 The future is 😎

Finishing just off the podium in 9th place is our boys 4 x 8. Today they ran the 4th fastest time in school history. They own the school record (w/Falkner) and left everything on the track. Scherman, Halton, Watson/Falkner, Thuku. Thank you, boys!

6A boys 110m hurdles state champion🥇 Bravin Powell-Brown of Gardner Edgerton wins the 6A boys 110m hurdles with a time of 14.23. #sportsinkansas

We salute Raylee Saunders, a senior. This 2x State qualifier earned her first state medal in the javelin today! A great leader and one of our all-time best jav throwers, Raylee’s Blazer career ended with a 7th place finish and we wish her every success at @MNUTrackXC.

We are headed home after two action packed days with: 24 qualifiers. 10 state medalists. 2 state champions. 1 school record and many full hearts! Thank you athletes, parents, coaches & @GEHSAthletics for your support! 2025 season is a wrap! Go Blazers!

Landri Schaffer broke her own 400m Blazer junior record today with a PR of 58.62! She’s now the 3rd fastest Blazer in history with a year left! Incredible work ethic and wildly talented. Congrats on your state medal today earning 8th in 6A! @GEHSAthletics
