Shipley and Reed bring home a track title and medals

Bailey Reed & Lauren Shipley

Suiting up for the Lady Blackhawks at the State Track Meet at ​Jefferson City High School last weekend were Juniors Bailey Reed and Lauren Shipley.  The team of two placed 10th overall. Shipley came home with a state title and a new school record in the 300M hurdles, and medals in all four of her events.  Reed brought home medals as well and finished strong in pole vault with a 4th place spot on the podium.

Adrian is sure proud, and so is Head Coach Matt Cochran.  He said, "Girls did a good job this weekend. As a team finishing 10th place with only two girls is pretty good. I know in some events the girls were a little disappointed because they didn’t get a PB, but even getting here is special. On a high note, Bailey placing 4th in the pole vault was great. Lauren becoming a state champion in the 300 meter hurdles while setting a new school record was really special. I couldn’t be more proud of these girls. They have done an incredible job all year."
