Delphian Athletes Shine at State Championship, Achieving Record-Breaking Feats
The atmosphere was humming with energy as the Delphian community gathered in Eugene at the University of Oregon’s Hayward Field stadium to support our outstanding athletes at the OSAA 2A state track meet.
At this thrilling event, Oli Beauregard received the Athlete of the Meet award from Peter Weber, the Executive Director of the Oregon School Activities Association (OSAA). Furthermore, the team’s head coach, Brandon Lidgard, was honored with the 2A Boys Track and Field Coach of the Year award for the 2024-2025 season.
Girls’ Team: A Historic Finish
The girls’ team showcased their talent and determination, finishing 7th, which was a tie for best-ever overall placement in our girls’ program history. However, this year’s team amassed even more points than the previous team did to earn that 7th place spot!
The highlight of the girls’ events was junior Liv Curry, who leaped her way to victory by earning the championship title in the high jump. For each height, an athlete is allowed up to three attempts to clear the bar. In an impressive display of focus and skill, Liv didn’t miss a single jump on her way to the championship!
