Track Sectionals were held on Saturday, May 16th, and went outstandingly well, with two of our DeKalb Tigers qualifying to advance to state!

We have two outstanding performances! Freshman Easton Matthews is advancing for placing 3rd in the 200 with a new personal record of 23.18, and for placing 4th in the 400 with a new personal record of 51.44. Furthermore, Sophomore Brinkley Frakes is advancing for placing 2nd in Pole Vault! Freshman Easton Matthews feels as though, “It will be a little different going to state, especially since it will be the biggest track meet that I have ever been to, but I’m really excited to go, especially with my coaches beside me.” When asked about how she feels about state, Sophomore Brinkley Frakes states that, “I feel fairly confident in myself and my ability.” I can strongly say that I agree with this statement, seeing as she has put up a great performance and effort throughout the entire season. Freshman Easton Matthews runs prelims today at 2 PM, while Sophomore Brinkley Frakes performs pole vaults at 9 AM on Saturday. Both will be held in Jefferson City. Show your support in any way possible for our two amazing DeKalb track members.
