Cary, Hohn register early state qualifying marks at Charlie Janke invite
Early-qualifying marks set by pair of Trojan track members in Jackson
JACKSON — The Sturgis girls earned a second-place team finish as the annual Charlie Janke Invitational in Jackson on Friday. Sturgis posted 112 team points at the event, which saw East Lansing claim first place with 144. Senior Angela Cary won the high jump event, clearing 5-2 feet.
This met the qualifying leap as an early qualifier for the MHSAA state finals. The Sturgis boys finished fifth overall as a team with 51 points. Like Cary, Sturgis' Caleb Hohn also locked in a state early qualifying run.
His came in the 200 meters, where he won the race with a time of 22. 24 seconds. "So super proud of our boys tonight, they fought against delays and bad weather to step up and compete against higher level competition than we can find in the Wolverine Conference which is why we travel so far to come to these types of invitationals," Sturgis boys coach JB Starkey said.
Hohn's run moves him to seventh-best in the state and second-best in the history books at SHS.
