Several Greybull High School athletes made runs at state qualifying standards at a small meet Thursday in Burlington.
The Buffs placed fifth in both divisions, with the girls tallying 27 points and the boys 18.5. Neither team was whole due to spring break; of the 25 athletes out for track, just 12 competed.
Chaise Benasky, a senior, and Marlee Henson, a sophomore, came closest to punching their tickets to the state meet.
Benasky placed second in the 100-meter hurdles, finishing in a time of 18.28 seconds, just a shade off the 2A qualifying standard of 18.05 seconds.
She came close in the high jump, too, clearing 4 feet, 8 inches, which was good for fifth place. The qualifying standard — and her personal best from last season — is a leap of 4-9.
“She’s really close in both, so hopefully soon, she makes it in them,” said Coach Nolan Tracy.
