Sumner Academy senior Janae McKelvy concluded her stellar track and field career at the 2022 KSHSAA state meet this weekend in Wichita.

McKelvy led the Sabres with medals in three events — 5A girls’ 100-meter hurdles, high jump and the 4×100-meter relay.

Junior Kylie McCleary looks ready to pick up McKelvy’s leading role next year. McCleary earned medals in the girls’ 200-meter dash and the 4×100-meter relay. She also ran in the preliminaries of the 100-meter dash, but didn’t break through to the medal round.

Sophomore Myleah Brown and junior Kylah Burdette rounded out the Lady Sabres medal-winning relay team.

Junior Terry Rowe III competed in the boys’ high jump and freshman Sommyr Moore in the boys’ long jump, but both were eliminated in their preliminary flights.
