Taylor & Turner.
Or, Turner & Taylor.
No matter in which order one lists them these names loom monolithic for the Bartlesville High School track program.
During the recent high-powered Tulsa Union meet Michael Taylor burst to the championship in both boys’ hurdles events (110m, :15.58; 300 m, :39.75.)
Wesley Turner, a gold medal veteran, surged to first in the boys’ pole vault (15-feet) and second, just a baby’s burp behind Taylor in the 110m hurdles (:16.23).
Bryce Lee also showed up strong, soaring 5-foot-10 to claim third in the boys’ high jump.
John Torres muscled to eighth in the boys’ shot put (45-1.5).
Pierson Proctor hustled to ninth in the boys’ 110m hurdles (:16.56), while Preston Shoesmith bolted to ninth in the boys’ 3200m run (10:22.5). Payson Winward pulled in ninth place in the boys’ 300m hurdles (:45.5).
In the girls’ competition, Hailey Taylor cleared the bar at 9-0 to nail down fifth in the girls’ pole vault.
Alayna Nightingale garnered eighth in the girls; high jump (4-10) Kara Stose earned ninth place in the girls’ high jump (4-8).
David Ayres oversees the Bartlesville track program.
