Stephenville Track and Field Shines at State Meet

Austin TX –  The Stephenville High School Track and Field teams competed at the UIL State Track and Field Championships on Thursday.  As a team, Stephenville dominated the field events, scoring 26 points with only five athletes competing, the highest total among all Class 4A schools.

For the Honeybees, senior Brinley Hall earned a fourth-place finish in Shot Put with a throw of 41-4.25. Hall has been a key contributor for Stephenville throughout her career at SHS.

On the Yellow Jackets side, Stephenville athletes competed in Shot Put, Pole Vault, and High Jump. Leading the way was Kolton Dearth, who captured the gold medal in Shot Put with a throw of 61-2.5. Dearth was joined on the podium by fellow Yellow Jacket Caleb Garland, who earned the bronze medal with a throw of 56-0.50.

In Pole Vault, Kylar Mills cleared 15-6 to claim the bronze medal, while Jesse Barnes battled through a tough Class 4A High Jump field to finish eighth overall.

Mills, Garland, and Dearth close out their Stephenville careers as seniors after strong performances at the state level. Barnes, a junior, will return next season with hopes of making another trip to the state meet.
