Very little has changed in Kansas class 4A track and field from
season's start to today, where we stand just a few days until the state
championships get underway at Wichita's Cessna Stadium. And for
Andale's boys
and girls, that's a very good thing.
You see, at the beginning of the season, the hype machine
was at full throttle for Andale's field events. We said right here in this
space that Andale's girls could take the points from just their field events
and pretty much double up any other class 4A girls team in the state.
The Andale boys, while not quite that dominant, still were
likely to ride a wave of field event dominance to the top of the podium.
Well, that pretty much still holds true, as Andale heads
into the 2019 championships as the favorite to win the girls and
boys team titles.

girls' javelin and discus, and teammate Jaden Eck enters this week's state...
