SSC Girls Track & Field Team Competes at the NE Class A State Track & Field Meet
Check out the pictures

The SSC Girls Track and Field team competed at the State Track Meet at Omaha Burke on Friday and Saturday, May 18th and 19th.  The girls competed  hard and gave their best efforts and came home with one state medal to show for the weekend.  Jackie Humphrey place 7th in the Shot Put to cement her status as the best thrower in South Sioux history.  Jackie finishes her career 2nd all-time in the Shot Put (3 inches from the school record) and also 2nd in the discus, as well—a very solid career.
Staying in the Field Events, Nikki Hanish finished 15th in the Long Jump with a jump of 15’ 7 1/2”.  Nikki has been battling some painful shin problems this year – being a double qualifier at the state track meet is a fantastic effort.  In the high jump, McKayla Knudson failed to make opening height at the state track meet.
On the track, the 4 x 800 meter relay finished 16th in the state, running a time of 10:50.18.  Members of this team were Brittany Stabe, Hillary Palsma, Sadie Cardwell, and Alexa Phipps.

The 4x400 meter relay also competed at state, finishing in the 14th position, with a time of 4:26.43.  Members of this team were Patty Murillo, Kodi Fischer, Brittany Stabe, and Nikki Hanish.
Brittany Stabe also qualified for state in the open 800 meter run.  Brittany came in 15th at the State meet in her final appearance.  Her time of 2:33.13 was representative of her efforts all year long.  Brit has been one of the better runners in the state over the last couple of years and will be missed by our team.
Finally, Patty Murillo qualified for state, individually, in the 100 meter hurdles and 300 meter hurdles.  In the 100 meter hurdles, her time of 17.50 seconds garnered her 14th place; while in the 300 meter hurdles, her time of 49.83 was good for 14th place in the state, as well.
All in all, we have had a very good year.  We took a large number of girls to state, and the majority of them were underclassmen.  The experience was a good one for all of them and will hopefully be something which can be built upon in the future.  The coaches are very proud of these girls and all of our Track and Field athletes.

SSC Girls Track and Field team 3rd in A-3 District Track Meet


Boys & Girls 2007 NE District Participants

Girls 2007 NE District Participants

The SSC girls Track and Field team  capped  capped the season with an impressive showing in the A-3 district in North Platte on Wednesday, 5/9/07.  While North Platte is quite a trip for a district Track meet, the 9 girls going to state would  all agree that it was worth it.  While we had no district champions, we had a number of girls who managed to get second place finishes.  Headlining that list is Jackie Humphrey, who threw well as she has done all year, locking up second place in the shot put and another trip to state.  Additionally, McKayla Knudson competed very well in the High Jump, nailing down a second place finish and her first trip to state.  McKayla and Jackie both have strong chances to medal at the State Track meet, as their district performances stack up pretty well, relative to the rest of the state in their events. 

Also qualifying for the state meet was the 4x800 meter relay team of Brittany Stabe,  Hilary Palsma,  Sadie Cardwell, and  Alexa Phipps.  This team has run well all year long and they continued this trend at districts and came away with a second place finish, buying them a trip to state.  The 4x400 meter relay team of Patty Murillo, Kodi Fischer,  Brittany Stabe, and Nikki Hanish also qualified for state.  The coaches believe that this team has not maxed out yet and if they manage to knock off a second per person, they will contend for the school record – one of the older records in the books. 

Members of those  relay teams also qualified in individual events.  Patty Murillo qualified for state in the 100 meter hurdles and the 300 meter hurdles.  This is Patty’s second trip to state and her performance sets her up with a chance to  qualify for finals and compete on the second day.  Nikki Hanish place 3rd in the Long Jump, also good enough to get to state.  Her jump of 16’3” was welcome after struggling with shin problems all year long, its nice to see her back closer to her potential.  Brittany Stabe also qualified in the 800 meter dash.  Brittany had a very busy day and ran a strategic race which allowed her to qualify, yet also allowed her t o run well 30 minutes later in the 4x400 meter relay. 

All in all, this was a very productive day, and a fun day for the SSC girls Track and field team.  The coaches are proud of everyone’s efforts on this day—we had a number of kids who narrowly missed going to state, and yet, still  performed very well.  What follows are the summary results of our District Track meet.

South Sioux City Girls Track & Field Team 2nd in RCC Meet

The South Sioux City Girls Track & Field team competed in the River Cities Conference Track & Field Meet on Friday, May 4th in Ralston, NE.  The girls competed hard and well and came away with a well – earned 2nd place finish.  Highlighting the meet for the Lady Cardinals was the performance of the 4x 400 meter relay team and the performance of Long Jumper Nikki Hanish.  The 4x400 meter relay team has been progressively lowering their time in this event over the last four meets, and have now managed to shave seven seconds off their time since the Sioux City relays.  Patty Murillo, Kodi Fischer, Brittany Stabe, and Nikki Hanish make up the relay and will head into Wednesday’s district track meet in North Platte with a lot of momentum.  Nikki also jumped very well in the Long Jump event, clearing just over 15’ 10”.   Nikki has been over 16 feet several times this year but is struggling to recover from some painful shin splints and seems to be getting past the worst of it.  It will probably take a jump over 16 feet to qualify for state.  This is the last of our regular season meets, only about half of our team will make the long trek out to North Platte to run in the district track meet.  It has been an enjoyable year, albeit a stressful one with all of the weather problems.  The girls’ attitudes have generally been good and the coaches feel we have progressed  and matured as a team which leaves us expecting big things for next year.

Lady Cards Win Dakota Valley Invitational
On a hot, windy day, the South Sioux City Lady Cardinals competed very well and came away with a championship plaque for their efforts.  We outscored Vermillion by a mere point to win the title.  There were many personal bests set today, and our team appears to be peaking the right time of year.  Highlights of the meet include Jackie Humphrey winning the shot put, Patty Murillo winning the 300 hurdles, with teammate Nikki Hanish finishing 3rd, McKayla Knudson jumping over 5’ for the second consecutive meet with a winning jump of 5’1”.  She moved the bar to 5’5 Ό” for three attempts at our school record, but came up a little bit short.  Alexa Phipps, despite having flu-like symptoms, stepped up in a big way and provided 18 team points to our cause- winning the 3200 the first time she has attempted it, and placing 2nd in the 1600.  Other notable performances include Nikki Hanish getting third in the long jump, Kodi Fischer setting a new personal best of 32’ Ό” in the triple jump to place third, Patty Murillo getting third in the 100 hurdles, Hillary Palsma getting third in the 800, and the 4x800 relay of Hillary Palsma, Sadie Cardwell, Alexa Phipps, and Kacie Kavanaugh getting third.  This was a meet that illustrated the importance of every point being important, as the difference between first and second place was only 1 point.  The girls hope to use this performance as a springboard into the conference meet on Friday at Ralston.

South Sioux City Girls Track & Field 3rd in SSC Invite
SSC Invite Complete Girls Results
(Adobe PDF)

The South Sioux City Girls Track & Field team competed in the SSC Invite on Friday, April 27th and came away with a solid 3rd place performance in a 9 team field.  The girls set personal bests and season’s bests all day, up and down the lineup.  This was easily our best performance of the year.  Headlining the meet for the Lady Cardinals was Jackie Humphrey, who won the Shot Put and the Discus in dominating fashion.
            Jackie’s 39’ 10” Shot Put is the second best throw in school history and inches her ever-closer to the school record of 40’ 1” held by Lori Stingley.  Her discus throw is also the second best in school history.  This was the best meet of her career.  Also showing well for the Lady Cardinals was the Shuttle Hurdle relay team of Taylor Thoreson, Lindsey Kander, Katie Nissen, and Patty Murillo who ran 1;10.4, which ties for the 3rd best time in school history, and less then a second off of the school record.  With all four girls returning next year, the future appears to be very bright in that event.
            A couple other performances worthy of mention would include McKayla Knudson in the High Jump.  McKayla got back on the right side of 5’ with a jump of 5’2”, narrowly missing 5’4 3 times in a row.  This is the best day of high jumping of her short SSC career.  Also in the field events, Salena Snake snagged a 3rd place in the discus with a throw of 100’ 4 “, the first time in several meets that she has been back over 100’.  Alexa Phipps did not place in the 1600, but ran a time of 5:51, which in most races will place her fairly high – this was an extremely positive development.  Finally, our 4x800 meter relay set a personal best by 10 seconds running a time of 10:30.  Members of this unit are Brittany Stabe, Hillary Palsma, Alexa Phipps, and Sadie Cardwell.
            All in all, many excellent performances.  The following is a list of all SSC place winners in the SSC Invite.

1st Place:
Shot Put                                  Jackie Humphrey                   39’ 10”

South Sioux City Girls Track & Field Compete in the Sioux City Relays

     The South Sioux City Girls Track and Field team competed in the Sioux City Relays on Saturday, 4/21/07.  The Girls competed hard and came away with some impressive performances from the weekend.  Headlining the Lady Cardinal’s efforts were Jackie Humphrey in the Shot Put.  Jackie competed hard after failing to make the finals in the discus.  To her credit, she didn’t let a tough day in the discus, ruin her day.  The coaches are very proud of this effort.  Jackie threw the shot 39’ 1”

     In addition to Jackie’s success, Nikki Hanish had a fantastic day in the Long Jump.  Nikki jumped 16’ 4 1/4”  to claim 3rd place in the competition.  Nikki entered the finals with the 8th best jump, narrowly qualifying for the finals.  She made the most of the opportunity by improving her prelims jump by a foot and moving up  5 places in the compeition—narrowly missing second.

     Patty Murillo, in only her second meet of the year, also had a good day, placing 4th overall in the 400 meter hurdles.  Patty’s time was 1:10. 73, less then a second behind her own school record, set last year.  Patty’s event, as well as the events listed above came in the grueling open division events, where all 3 classes compete against each other.  These events are extremely competitive and placing in one of them is an honor.

     The 4 x400 meter relay team of  Patty Murillo, Kodi Fischer, Brittany Stabe, and Nikki Hanish finished 2nd in the “B” group division of the 4x400 meter relay, finishing with a time of 4:20.20, improving their best time of the season by 3 seconds.  We hope to get to state in this event and figure that it will take (at least) a 4:15 clocking to do it, so this was a positive development with several weeks to go until the district track meet.  The girls all competed well.
The following is a comprehensive list of the SSC girls entries at the Sioux City Relays.

South Sioux City Girls Track and Field 3rd in City Meet/East Invite 

The girls track team competed in the East Invitational on Tuesday evening April 17th.  The City Meet which was postponed due to cold, rainy conditions last Tuesday was made up during this meet as well.  The girls competed very well for the most part, with many personal best performances turned in.  Highlights of the meet included Jackie Humphrey becoming a three-time City Champion in the shot put with a heave of 39’3”.  Jackie also took home the gold in the discus with a throw of 119’.  That throw was good enough to move her into second place on our all-time chart, less than three feet from the school record of 121’8”.  The shuttle hurdle relay team, consisting of Taylor Thoreson, Hannah Reed, Lindsey Kander, and Patty Murillo won their event with a time of 1:13.07.  Nikki Hanish placed second in the long jump with a season-best jump of 16’ 9 ½”- good enough for third all time at SSC.  That jump also puts her in the top 10 in the state of Nebraska thus far.  Patty Murillo and Nikki Hanish also finished 2nd and 3rd, respectively, in the 400 hurdles, both turning in solid times for this point in the season.  The girls totaled 108 points in the East Invite scoring, good enough for a solid third place finish behind Sioux City Heelan and Sioux City North.  After dropping Seargent Bluff from the scoring for the City Meet, we came away with 112 points and 3rd place.

South Sioux City Girls Track and Field Competes in Dan Lennon Invitational

The South Sioux City Girls Track and Field team competed in the competitive Dan Lennon Track and Field Meet on Monday, 3/26/07.  The girls competed hard and well and managed to come away from the meet with some impressive performances.  Headlining the meet was Jackie Humphrey picking up where she left off at last years State meet throwing the Shot 39’ 5” to capture 2nd place overall.  This throw is the second best throw in the state right now and is a great start to her season.  McKayla Knudson also turned in an impressive individual performance in the meet in the High Jump.  McKayla managed to clear 5’0” for the first time in her career to capture the third place plaque for the event.  She also made a nice effort at 5’2”, particularly on her third attempt, and this is a promising start to the year.  The 4x400 meter relay team of Brittany Stabe, Kodi Fischer, Hillary Palsma, and Nikki Hanish turned in a time of 4:23.76 seconds for the event.  This is the third fastest time in school history and, also, a great start to the season.
