The Webb City High School girls track and field team features a trio of athletes who are among the state’s best in their respective events.
Senior distance runner Abi Street is coming off a stellar cross country season.
Street finished third in Class 4 at the state cross country championships with a 5K time of 19:06.
Street captured conference and district championships in cross country. At the conclusion of the fall, Street was named the top Class 4 female runner by the SWCCCA.
At last year’s state track meet, Street finished 12th in the 3200 with a time of 12:07.
Street just missed qualifying for state in the 1600 after finishing fifth at the sectional. Street has signed to run for the University of Kansas.
Webb City junior Dawsyn Decker took fourth place in the javelin at last year’s Class 4 state meet with her toss of 126-3.
Decker, who won conference and district titles in her signature event, will have her sights set on another podium finish this spring.
Webb City sophomore Sami Mancini finished seventh in Class 4 in the shot put last year (36-6.25).
A standout on the basketball court, Mancini will also look to score big points in the discus.
Webb City will also feature a number of promising underclassmen this spring.
Freshman Brooke Hedger is expected to contribute nicely in the 800 and 1600, while sophomore Chase Stilley is expected to score big points in the high jump.
Junior Aubree Lassiter and freshman Jaeli Rutledge are two athletes who are expected to score points in the throws.
Seniors Kylie Jennings and Essence Robinson should also be key performers in multiple events.
Webb City’s girls track team is scheduled to begin the season on Thursday at the Carthage Invitational.
