Antlers double their pleasure
For the Deer Creek boys, it was a romp in the park. For the Lady Antlers, things were a little more tense, but in the end both Deer Creek track teams ended up with State Champion trophies at the OSSAA Track and Field Championships at Yukon High School Saturday.
For the Deer Creek ladies, the championship was not decided until the final race. Defending champion Shawnee picked up eight points in the 1600 meter run to up their total to 76 going into the concluding 1600 meter relay. Deer Creek had 85.5 points and could hold off the Lady Wolves and clinch the team title with a third-place finish. Kirsten Burnett had already racked up gold medals in both the 100 and 200 meters and another with the Lady Antlers' 400 meter relay when she took the baton in fourth place for the anchor leg of the deciding relay.
"I knew I had to finish third if we were going to win, but I just put it out of my mind and decided to run as hard as I could," said an exhausted but jubilant Burnett as she was mugged by her teammates. She joined Lillie Martin, Jade Orange and Alexis Allen on the awards stand in second place which added 16 points to the team and gave the Lady Antlers 101.5. The Lady Wolves actually won the relay, but the 20 points left them with only 96 for the runner-up trophy. -
