DIKE — Now that didn’t take too long. Did it?
Less than a week before at the Comet Relays (April 22), Charles City sophomore Sophia Calpito broke a pair of long-time standing school records during that single meet — Dyan Fluhrer’s girls long jump record set in 1989, and Lisa Berns’s girls 100-meter hurdles record set in 2010.
But it has become apparent that Calpito’s leaderboard adjustments have a much shorter shelve life … or at least that’s the case with the 100 hurdles.
Fresh from competing at the Drake Relays last Saturday with the Comets’ 4-by-100 relay including seniors Emerson Bohlen and Destiny Kolheim, and junior Joslyn Bormann, Calpito re-broke the school 100 hurdles record with a first-place time of 15.34 seconds … .05 of a second faster than her previous school record set six days before … at Tuesday’s Lady Simon Relays hosted by Dike-New Hartford.
Calpito’s LJ record (17 feet, 8 ¾ inches) lived to see at least one more meet, though Calpito’s jump on Tuesday (17 feet, 2 ½ inches) was good enough for another first.
Fellow school multi-record-setter Leah Stewart, who this week signed her letter of intent to throw for Wartburg College, won the discus with a season-best launch of 113 feet, 3 inches. The Comet senior also placed second in the shot put (35 feet, 4 ½ inches) with East Marshall sophomore Ashtyn Wheater placing first (37 feet, 9 inches).
With 47 team points, the Comets placed fourth out of eight teams with Waverly-Shell Rock (106 points) on top.
