    Anyone who has followed local high school golf this spring probably expected Monday's City Golf Championship at Topeka Country Club to be a down-to-the-wire battle between Washburn Rural and Hayden.

    And things couldn't haven't been any closer, with the Junior Blues winning the team championship by a single stroke over the Wildcats to claim their 15th straight city title while Washburn Rural senior Tadd Armstrong and Hayden senior James Kuta took the race for the individual crown to a playoff before Armstrong won with a par putt on the extra hole.

    Armstrong and Kuta both finished the 27-hole city event with scores of 118 in extremely windy conditions to force the playoff while Washburn Rural continued its dominating city run by the slimmest of margins, winning 489-490 in the city event, which was held in conjunction with the 20-school Topeka Country Club Invitational.

    "This is a goal that we set out at the beginning of the year to accomplish and we had some guys step up this afternoon when some guys didn't have their best stuff,'' Washburn Rural coach Jared Goehring said. "Tadd and Higgins Hawks stepped up this afternoon for us, so I couldn't be more proud of this team win.

    "We're definitely headed in the right direction going into the home stretch.''

    Armstrong achieved his goal of winning the city championship after finishing fourth in the as a junior. 

    "I wanted to come out and win this today,'' Armstrong said. "I felt pretty good. I just kept battling and persevering through the tough holes.''

    Senior Tagen Rodriguez finished third in the city meet with a 120 for runnerup Hayden while Washburn Rural's Michael Wilson placed fourth (123) and Rural's Hawks and Tagan Monasmith and Seaman's Alex Flanagan tied for fifth (124).

    Hayden's Nick Gorman and Seaman's Bradley Williamson tied for eighth (125) while Hayden's Austin Bean (127) rounded out the city's top 10.

    Olathe Northwest won the team title in the Topeka Country Club Invitational by a stroke over Blue Valley West (302-303).

    Nick VanWyngardner of Olathe Northwest claimed the individual title with a 70.

    Ryin Miller continued her undefeated season with a season-best 10:17.74 in the 3,200 meters. It was the 29th best time in the United States this season.

    “I was pretty happy with the race and have progressively built on each race. I’m trying to peak where I’m supposed to peak, which is the goal this season,” Miller said.

    Miller’s second race of the day was in the 800 meters where she finished first in a time of 2:11.65, setting another season-best and also the 64th best time in the United States this season. Miller has her mind on an even faster time.

    “I’ve been trying to break 2:10 this season and hoping that at some point this season, I’ll get there,” Miller said.

    The Washburn Rural boys and girls swept the 4x800-meter relay races.

  • Seaman softball rides hot bats to UKC sweep of Topeka West

    By NICHOLAS GAINEY

    The Seaman Vikings softball team had thunder in their bats Thursday in 4-2 and 14-2 United Kansas Conference  victories over city rival Topeka West, tallying 26 hits across the two games at Seaman.

    Ace pitcher Kaelyn O’Rourke set the tone to start Game 1 of the twinbill for the Vikings, striking out the side in the top of the first.

    Seaman put a run on the board in the bottom half of the inning, with Aubrey Warren crossing the plate on a Natalee Simpson single.

    The visiting Chargers looked to answer, putting together back-to-back singles from Mya Miller and Christina Briggs to put pressure on the Vikings, but O’Rourke struck out opposing pitcher Jordyn White, a freshman, to put an end to the threat.

    The Seaman offense went back to work in the bottom of the third, with Warren scoring again on a Simpson single and courtesy runner Phoebe Brodine coming around to score on an error to give the Vikings a 3-0 lead.

    After three shutout innings from O’Rourke, Seaman coach Dan Ruda turned to freshman Kynnedi Kitzman to start the top of the fourth.

    Topeka West found its first run of the game in the frame, with Callie Jones drawing a leadoff walk and scoring on a Briggs single to cut the deficit to 3-1.

    After Kitzman shut down the Chargers in the top of the fifth, Seaman added an insurance run in the bottom half, with Simpson recording her third RBI of the game on a sacrifice fly to center field.

    Topeka West showed signs of life to begin the top of the sixth when Jones launched a home run over the left-field fence to make it a 4-2 game.

    After giving up the solo shot, Kitzman settled in and recorded the final six outs without allowing a hit or walk to earn the save for the Vikings.

    Seaman recorded 11 hits in Game 1, with Warren leading the way with a 3 for 4 outing. Simpson went 2 for 2 for the Vikings, driving in a run in each of her three plate appearances.

    O’Rourke earned the win in the circle, striking out six over three innings pitched.

    Isabella Kutina and Briggs each had two hits in the loss for Topeka West, while Jones tallied both runs scored for the Chargers.

    In Game 2, the Vikings sent out another freshman pitcher, Lydia Dreher, who retired the Chargers in order in the top of the first.

    Seaman got on the board early again, jumping out to a 2-0 lead with a Raegan McConnell RBI double and an O’Rourke RBI single.

    The hosts tacked on two more runs in the bottom of the second, with Kayleigh Neill driving in Addison Sibley after Sibley’s leadoff double.

    A few batters later, McConnell added her second RBI in as many innings with a single up the middle to give Seaman a 4-0 lead.

    After a third hitless inning from Dreher in the top of the third, the Vikings broke the contest open with a seven-run bottom of the third.

    With the bases loaded following two singles and a walk, Sibley hit a sacrifice fly to center field to push the Seaman lead to 5-0.

    With two outs in the inning, the Vikings rattled off five consecutive hits, including a two-run double from Anna McLaughlin and a two-run home run to center field by Warren.

    O’Rourke and Simpson each added RBI doubles before the Chargers managed to record the final out of the inning.

    Topeka West chipped away at the deficit in the top of the fourth, starting the inning with three straight singles.

    Jones drew a walk with the bases loaded, and Addaline Hall came in to score on a wild pitch to cut the lead to 11-2.

    Seaman added three more runs in the bottom of the inning, starting with a leadoff single from Kinsley Smith.

    The Vikings took advantage of four Charger errors in the inning to reach the final score of 14-2.

    The hosts had 15 hits in the nightcap, with each starter recording at least one hit.

    Warren drove in three runs in a 2 for 4 effort, while McConnell went a perfect 3 for 3 with two runs driven in.

    Dreher went the distance in the circle, going five innings while allowing only two runs and striking out five.

    With O’Rourke working her way back from a minor shoulder injury, Ruda was pleased with the way his two freshman pitchers took the pressure off of their star senior.

    “(Kitzman and Dreher) have done a really good job of stepping up in (O’Rourke’s) absence, and getting that varsity experience right away,” Ruda said. “(We're) trusting all of our pitchers to go in and get the job done, and just trying to keep kids healthy for the long run.”

  • Newcomer Lassiter helps Topeka High tennis go 3-0 to win West quadrangular

    Rick Peterson

    By RICK PETERSON

    TopSports.news

    After graduating just one senior off last year's varsity team and sporting a 50-player roster, veteran Topeka High boys tennis coach Duane Pomeroy expected his Trojans to field a deep and competitive team this spring.

    And the outlook got a lot brighter with the addition of junior No. 1 singles player Tres Lassiter, who went a perfect 3-0 on Tuesday as Topeka High went 3-0 as a team to win the Topeka West quadrangular at Kossover Tennis Center.

    Lassiter is a home school student who is playing for High this season as a result of the Kansas State High School Activities Association rule that permits home-schoolers to play for the high school team in their attendance district.

    "He called me and said, 'You might remember me from working at the (Kossover) clubhouse,' '' Pomeroy said. "He asked, 'Do you have room on your varsity for another player?' Then I was hearing from other people how good he was and I definitely had room for somebody of that caliber.'' 

    Lassiter is now 5-1 on the season after taking an 8-4 win over Shawnee Heights' Brock Corley, an 8-3 win over Topeka West's Will Hitch and an 8-1 victory over Basehor-Linwood's Gannon Suarez on Tuesday.

    "It's a new experience for him,''Pomeroy said. "He plays in the summer in USTA tournaments but he was nervous his first time out because, as he said, he's never played for a school.

    "He's just a super nice kid. He's better than anybody else on the team, but he cares about all other kids, including the rookies.''

    Topeka High took a 4-0 win over Shawnee Heights and 3-1 wins over Topeka West and Basehor-Linwood while Heights went 2-1, with the T-Birds' lone loss coming against High.

    West's Ayden Gore and Butch Graham went 3-0 on the day in No. 2 doubles.

    The Washburn Rural girls finished the highest of the local teams in the 13-team field, placing third.

    Early-season meets give young swimmers an opportunity to try different events, and they afford coaches a chance to find best fits to help the team, Washburn Rural coach Bob Burdick said.

    “If we wanted to win this meet, we would have put swimmers in different races than we did,” Burdick said. “Tonight, we tried a lot of people in a lot of new spots to see what they could do. That’s what we’ve got to do to build it.”

    Leading the Junior Blues was senior Genevieve Miranda, a veteran who was willing to swim events she wouldn’t normally be in. No matter. She placed first in two events, an unusual combination of a sprint and a distance race. She was victorious in the 50-yard freestyle and the 500-yard freestyle.

    “I’ve been training a lot to work up to this level, so I’m really excited,” Miranda said. “Even if I’m in an event that’s not my best race, I’m doing my best for the team.”

    The Junior Blues’ Audrey Appuhn, a junior, added a first in the 100-yard breaststroke.

    “Since we lost a lot of swimmers to graduation, what we’re doing is trying to figure out where our best placement is for our swimmers,” Burdick said. “But then we have all these new swimmers. So, we’re shuffling them around, building their confidence and seeing where the puzzle fits.

    “When we get to the end of the season, we’ve got a small team, but it only takes 14 or 15 kids to win a championship meet. We’ve just got to have them in the right spots.”

    “We’re down by like 10 people or so from last year, but so far everybody’s been doing great at doing everything together and having team unity,” Miranda added. “It’s important that we hype ourselves up as a team and don’t let each other get nervous. Nerves are a big thing when it comes to racing.”

    Topeka High junior Hara Del Castillo placed first in the 200 individual medley. But she pointed out that she is racing against herself more than she is the field.

    “I like winning even if the time wasn’t what I wanted it to be,” Del Castillo said. “I’m not doing as well as I would like to be. My times haven’t been hitting where I usually would be. I’m hoping it will be better later in the season. This was a chance to scope out how I’m doing and see what I can work on.”
