Eads Boys & Girls Win Annual JH League Track Meet


By Betsy Barnett

May 10, 2023

The junior high league track meet was held in McClave on a pleasant spring day that included sun and little wind. That set the scene for some excellent performances from the athletes from Eads, McClave, Granada, Cheraw Cheyenne Wells, and Wiley. Kit Carson, part of the Hi-Plains League, was scheduled to attend a different track meet in Tribune.

The Eads Girls’ and Boys’ teams won the team championships at the League Track Meet with the hosts, McClave, getting runner-up in both the Girls’ and Boys’ division.

Eads head coach Stephanie Bohlander said of the double championship, “It’s been a while since both boys’ and girls’ teams have won League at the same time, so it really was an awesome ending to a very successful season. For the boys, every teammate had to step up and score, and they did that as all of them scraped needed points together to get it done. And for the girls, this was a whole team effort too.”

The Girls’ League Championship represented a clean sweep for the Eads girls as they were undefeated and won the league tournament championships in both Volleyball and Basketball, as well. Bohlander proudly stated, “I’ve never seen a year where the girls won all three seasons, so this year was a very special one.”

The JH Track & Field season is now over as school is winding down. Bohlander thanked her assistant coaches Trey Eder and Duff Haase both who have positively shared their tremendous knowledge with these young athletes who are just learning how to compete.

Coach Bohlander closed by recognizing the strong 8th Grade class who were leaders all year in the various athletic arenas, “We had great 8th-grade leadership all season. Those kids were the rocks and the younger athletes needed to be able to find success by following their example. The younger classes really are talented, but it was the ability and willingness to put everything out there every day by the 8th graders that makes this whole group special.”
