The 2026 track and field season is winding down, but sophomore Kolby Stafford just keeps getting better! He has attended 2 meets since the last post.
April 21 - Potosi Varsity Meet: Kolby hit another personal best in discus. He brought home a 1st place medal (out of 36 boys) and threw 52.77 meters. He also had a good day in shot put, finishing 13th out of 37 boys.
April 23 - Chaffee Varsity Meet: Kolby brought home a 2nd- place medal (out of 28 boys) in discus with a throw of 48.82 meters. He also did very well in shot, earning a personal best throw with a distance of 12.30 meters. He finished in 5th place out of 29 boys which was only 2 places away from a medal.
Kolby will wrap up the regular season this Friday, May 1st, when he competes in the All-Division SEMO Conference Meet. This will be held at Cape Central HS. Kolby will begin throwing discus at 1 pm, and shot put will follow at 3:30 pm. Concessions will be available, and lawn chairs are recommended if you plan to attend. He will then begin the post-season on Saturday, May 9th at Notre Dame HS, where he will compete in the Class 1, District 1 Championship in hopes of beginning his return to the State Championship. (More information will be provided for Districts next week.)
We are so proud of you, Kolby, and can't wait to see how the 2026 season finishes up!
