Twelve Athletes punched their ticket to next Friday/Saturdays state track meet in Wichita, held Cessna Stadium. State Schedule
The 2025 track team has a lot to brag about and we are going to brag on them a lot as this quiet group just continues to go about their business in a non assuming way. I think we can say the quiet part out loud now. Jr's Rose Buck and Britta Mongeau will go down as the greatest tandem of distance runners to walk/run the halls of EHS. These two made a splash as freshman and the ripples have just gotten bigger the last two years. The 2A Regional was held yesterday in Eureka and Buck was part of 3 school records. She started off the day breaking her own record in the 1600m with a winning time of 5:18.63. She then broke Tornado great Ezzy Ibarra's 2006 record of 2:22.78 in the 800m with a winning time of 2:20.39. She capped off her night anchoring a new school record in the 4x400 with a split of 61.0 and winning time 4:16.21. The old record of 4:17.80 set in 2009 was held by Harrington-Vinson-Pitko-Schmidt.

Junior Britta Mongeau also had an stellar day setting 2 PR's and part of a new school record. Britta sets #2 all-time in the 1600m with her 2nd place finish with a time 5:28.05. She also set a PR in the 800m with a time of 2:26.66. That time lands her 3rd time on the Top-12 list. Leading off the 4x400 with a split of 63 and giving the Tornadoes a huge lead, she also is part of a new school record in the 4x400.
Sr. Olivia Valentine said not fast girls, I got something going on over in the sprints. Olivia won the 100m in a time of 12.95 and sets #5 all-time w/ a season best of 12.86. She was also part of the 2nd place 4x100 in a time of 51.84. They slide into #5 all-time with that time. Olivia also was also part of the recording breaking 4x400 with a split of 64.
