Watford City to host Region Track Meet on Saturday

 It may have taken longer than either Dave Dougherty or Greg Brown wanted, but with bright sunny skies and warm temperatures last week, Watford City runners finally had their chance to qualify for the State Class B Track Meet.
And qualify they did. Watford City runners were able to take advantage of two of the nicest days that they’ve had a chance to compete in last Tuesday and Thursday and their times showed it.
For the Watford City girls team, Kara Johnsrud qualified in the 400 meter dash with a time of 1:01.14 on Tuesday and then on Thursday, Kade Ross qualified in the 400 meter dash with a time of 1:01.54, Sibee Jokeal qualified in the 1,600 meter run with a time of 5:33.14 and Marti Quale qualified in the 300 meter hurdles with a time of 48.64.
Also qualifying for the girls team in the past week was the 1,600 meter relay team of Marti Quale, Sibee Jokela, Kade Ross and Kara Johnsrud with a time of 4:14.14 and the 800 meter relay team of Peyton Martin, Sibee Jokela, Olivia Sundeen and Kara Johnsrud with a time of 1:51.14.
The Watford City boys team also qualified six athletes with Jason Shipman qualifying in the 110 meter hurdles on Tuesday with a time of 15.89, while the 1,600 meter relay team of Tyler Flatland, Greg Skurupey, Brady Lund and Adam Brenna turned in a qualifying time of 3:35.94.
Casey Jore also qualified in both the 1,600 and 3,200 meter runs with times of 4:38.19 and 10:16.60, respectively.
“Casey Jore is the first Watford City boy to have qualified for the State Track Meet by time in the 1,600 m run in many years,” stated Dave Dougherty, boys head coach. “He has trained and prepared for this his entire high school career. His time is the fifth fastest in state.”
On Saturday, the Wolves will be hosting the Region VII Track and Field Meet with field events beginning at 10 a.m. while running events will start at 11 a.m.
“Our girls team is heavily favored to repeat as the Region champions,” stated Dougherty. “The boys team is the slight favorite over a strong Williams County team.”
The top two place finishers in each individual event as well as the relays will advance to the State Track Meet in Bismarck on May 22 and 23.
