French Drive to succeed pays off in classroom choose centrist

By RICHARD LUKEN The Iola Register

PARIS (AP) — French President-elect Emmanuel Macron laid the groundwork today for his transition to power, announcing a visit to Ger- Emmanuel many and a Macron name change for his political movement and appearing with his predecessor at a solemn World War II commemoration.

Macron handily defeated far-right National Front leader Marine Le Pen in Sunday’s presidential runoff, and now must pull together a majority of lawmakers for his year-old political movement to run in the mid-June legislative election.

A competitive streak pays off handsomely in the field of athletics, where participants are driven to improve on a daily basis.

Sydney Wade, who excelled in basketball, volleyball and softball throughout her high school career, used the same approach to the classroom.

That zeal to compete started, naturally enough, with her twin brother, Garrett.

“We were really competitive in elementary school,” Wade recalled.

Then, as the Wade twins grew older, and Sydney met new classmates whom she admired, that helped up her game.

“I just had to keep going to get to their level,” she recalled.

And while Wade soon became one of the most decorated individual players in Iola High basketball history, it’s her academic prowess that will be hon-

Fifty-four area children became the luckiest kids in town Saturday during a bike giveaway sponsored by Humanity House.

Children who were preregistered were given a bike and a safety helmet.

The gifts came with the condition they complete four hours of assigned community service work. Tracy Keagle, director of Humanity House, told the children acts of kindness change the impression people have of them.

After the bikes were distributed, Iola Police officers David Shelby, Mike Aronson

and Tim Francis taught a basic safety and maintenance course. Several children who already owned bikes also showed up to take the safety course, Humanity House worker Sabrina Greer said.

Keagle encouraged the children to take care of their new bikes and offered them the opportunity to trade them in for larger bikes in two years. The giveaway was a joint effort. Walmart donated $500 toward the purchase of the bikes and Iola Insurance donated the helmets. SafeBase also made a monetary contribution and Ellen Glover donated four bikes, raising See BIKES | Page A4

Wind power takes off

Carmen, seen here with Brittni Israel, is a mixedbreed dog that needs a home. REGISTER/SHELLIE SMITLEY

Dog finds shelter, attention at ACARF In honor of National Pet Week several articles will appear about animals in the area.

The Allen County Animal Rescue Facility rehabilitates and finds homes for unwanted dogs and cats.

Carmen is a mixedbreed dog in need of a home. She was found malnourished and in a ditch near Elsmore on April 13, dog technician Brittni Israel said. At 30 lbs. underweight, the dog did not have the strength to hold herself up or walk. She has gained more than 2 pounds in the short time she has been at the shelter. Her age is hard to estimate because of the shape she is in, but she may be be-

tween 1 to 2 years old.

Tests administered by a veterinarian confirmed that Carmen is suffering from no other ailments other than neglect, but that is enough to keep her on a medical hold until the veterinarian clears her for adoption. Her recovery consists of eating small amounts of food several times a day.

Carmen has a sweet and appreciative attitude and walks on a leash. “She’s just a really great dog that’s had an unfortunate background,” Israel said.

More information about ACARF or Carmen can be found at www.acarf.org or by calling 620-496-3647.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — New wind farms brought online this year or planned for later this year will quadruple the amount of wind generation in Kansas in just six years, placing the state behind only Texas, Oklahoma, California and Iowa in producing wind energy, an analyst group said.

The American Wind Energy Association said in its first-quarter report that Kansas will reach 5,000 megawatts of wind power generation capacity this year. That includes a 200-megawatt Cimarron Bend II wind farm in Clark County and the 280-megawatt Western Plains wind farm in Ford County that came on line this year and brought the state to 4,931 megawatts of generation capacity, The Wichita Eagle reported. And a 178-megawatt Bloom Wind Farm is under construction south of Dodge City in Ford and Clark counties and the 400-megawatt Iron Star wind farm near Dodge City is in advanced development and likely will be built this year.

The association said Kansas’ total investment in wind energy now stands at $8.4 billion.

Nationally, wind pow-

er construction is expected to remain strong through 2020, according to an analysis for AWEA, which projects the existing 84,000 megawatts of wind power will grow to about 120,000 megawatts in the next four years.

Wind is the fastest growing source of new electricity generation in the U.S. but is still only about 6 percent of the total.

“American wind power is getting off to a very strong start in 2017, with the most new capacity since 2009,” said Hannah Hunt, senior analyst of AWEA. “At a national level that’s enough to power 25 million homes every year. And Kansas has emerged as a national leader in the first quarter with 480 megawatts.”

Wind farms are running across central and western Kansas but most are in the state’s southwest because of the reliably strong winds and recently upgraded heavy transmission lines that connect Spearville, near Dodge City, to Wichita.

More wind farm development is likely in the next few years if the Missouri Public Service Commission approves an application by Cleanline Energy of Houston to build a transmission line from Spearville to Indiana.

Macron: Wins big in French election Continued from A1

Britain praised Macron’s victory but viewed it through their own electoral challenges.

Macron’s party is changing its name to La Republique En Marche (Republic on the Move) as it prepares a list of candidates. Macron has promised that half of those candidates will be new to elected politics, as he was before his victory on Sunday.

Macron won the presidency with 66 percent of votes cast for a candidate but the vote saw a high number of blank or spoiled votes and unusually low turnout.

Le Pen says she will lead the opposition to Macron.

It was the first time the men had appeared in public together since Macron resigned in August 2016 as Hollande’s economy minister to run for president — a decision that was received coldly by the French leader at the time.

Today, though, Hollande gripped Macron’s arm before the two men walked side by side and then announced the transfer of power would take place on Sunday.

Today also marked decades of peace in Western Europe, something Macron made a cornerstone of his campaign against Le Pen’s brand of nation-

alist populism. Le Pen had called for France to leave the 28-nation European Union and drop the shared euro currency in favor of reinstating the French franc.

Sylvie Goulard, a French deputy to the European Parliament, said Macron would make Berlin his first official visit, with perhaps a stop to see French troops stationed abroad as well.

The National Front also geared up for a name change — if not a makeover of its ideas — after Le Pen’s decisive loss. In interviews Monday, National Front officials said the party founded by her father would get a new name to try and draw in a broader spectrum of support-

ers.

“The National Front is a tool that will evolve to be more efficient, bring even more people together after the number of voters we reached last night. And so we have an immense responsibility vis-a-vis the French people, who trust us,” said Nicolas Bay, the party’s secretary-general.

GERMAN Chancellor Angela Merkel, whom Le Pen derisively said last week would be France’s de facto leader under a Macron presidency, welcomed his win but appeared cautious about proposals to support his economic plans either by relaxing European spending rules or with a dedicated stimulus fund.

~ Journalism that makes a difference

Health care bill defender gets off to lousy start Rep. Raul Labrador, RIdaho, would be high on the list for any number of booby prizes after comments he made Friday sizzled through several major news outlets and social media platforms.

At a town hall meeting in Coeur d’Alene, Labrador responded to a woman’s comment that he’s “mandating people on Medicaid accept dying,” with: “That line is so indefensible. Nobody dies because they don’t have access to health care.”

He later tried to explain away what he said, but it already had spread like wildfire across Facebook, Twitter and other cyber commentaries.

Labrador, by the way, is a member of the ultraright Freedom Caucus, which gives some weight to his vote to help pass the American Health Care Act in the House. We have not studied the AHCA enough to make a judgment about whether it will be a step up from the Affordable Care Act, but we are willing to bet our bottom dollar coverage for pre-existing conditions and broader coverage for America’s poor aren’t hallmarks of the GOP plan.

As an attorney and a U.S. House member since the 2010 election, Labrador should have known better than to make a statement that’s so easily turned against him.

Let’s look at a few facts.

Study after study has found people who don’t have health insurance don’t fare as well as the average Joe and Jill.

A primary reason is that insurance nearly always

means a better outpatient history because those who have it take better care of themselves with routine visits to physicians, whereas those without insurance can’t afford such things and deem food on the table as more important.

One of Labrador’s critics at the town hall meeting, later identified as an emergency room nurse, was reported in the Idaho Statesman as giving the following scenario for a noninsured person living handto-mouth: “... when they get sick, they’re going to get sicker, because they won’t have primary care, they won’t have preventive care, and they’re going to lose their jobs, they’re going to lose their homes. And they’re going to have a $10,000 ICU stay for what could have been a $35 primary care visit, $5 worth of penicillin for their antibiotics.” And, it will become a debt the attending hospital will have to absorb.

Labrador responded with another caustic comment, saying Oregon was an example of a state that had increased Medicaid spending on indigent care to find that “most of the poor people ended up going to the ERs anyway.”

USING SUCH generalities to dismiss people, regardless of their financial or social standing, is disgusting coming from one of 435 representatives in the U.S. House. Let us hope the Senate is better equipped to derail what from many early appearances is a lousy substitute for the Affordable Care Act. — Bob Johnson

Greensburg got back up after 2007 tornado Ten years ago, an EF-5 tornado wiped out most of Greensburg. But it couldn’t destroy the town’s spirit.

Though its population is smaller now, Greensburg has rebuilt, and its residents are committed to each other and to their community.

The Sunday Wichita Eagle recounted stories of heroism and loss from that awful evening. They were inspiring and sad.

Although the mile-anda-half-wide tornado heavily damaged or destroyed 95 percent of the town, only 11 people died, which was remarkable. But those losses were tragic and personal.

Norman Volz lost his wife, Beverly, his father-in-law, Max McCall, and his employee, Larry Hoskins.

“It’s not the same and never will be the same,” he said.

There also are amazing stories, such as Dennis McKinney and others digging out his neighbor and her baby from the rubble. Neither had a scratch.

“We got to see a miracle,”

he said.

Greensburg had 1,400 to 1,500 people before the tornado and 800 to 900 people now. That drop is unfortunate though understandable, as it was difficult for many people to stay after both their homes and their places of employment were destroyed.

But the town is a model of how to rebuild. It transformed itself into a community focused on sustainability, with energy-efficient buildings and wind turbines. It has a beautiful new school, hospital and state-ofthe-art movie theater. And its biggest attraction, the Big Well, was rebuilt with a new museum.

Like most small towns, Greensburg has economic struggles, especially due to declines in the oil and gas and crop markets.

But after being knocked down, Greensburg and its residents got back up, and they are still moving forward.

From compromise to bitterness in one day WASHINGTON — How does this happen?

On Wednesday, the House passed a $1.2 trillion spending bill by a lopsided margin of 309 to 118. A majority of both Democrats and Republicans supported the measure, which sailed through the Senate.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., alike celebrated, and President Trump said of the spending bill: “This is what winning looks like!”

Yet the day after this bill passed the House, the chamber split down the middle as it passed the “Trumpcare” legislation repealing Obamacare. All 193 Democrats and 20 Republicans opposed the bill, which survived by a margin of 217 to 213 and goes to the Senate, where it is so toxic that lawmakers there don’t even plan to consider it.

Pelosi bitterly told Republicans they would have the bill “tattooed on your forehead.

You will glow in the dark on this one.” Democrats sang “Hey, hey, hey, goodbye” to Republicans on the House floor.

How could the people’s representatives swing, in the space of 24 hours, from bipartisan congratulations to partisan recriminations? The difference was in Trump’s approach.

In the case of the spending bill, he acted as president of all Americans. He negotiated a compromise that thrilled nobody but satisfied the vast majority. In the case of the health care bill, he catered to the most extreme elements of the Republican Party, the 30-or-so members of the House Freedom Caucus, winding up with a radical and slapdash bill that would be at direct odds with what Americans say they want.

Democrats crowed, a bit too much, about the spending agreement, which avoided funds for a border wall and a deportation force and avoided the defunding of sanctuary cities and Planned Parenthood. It didn’t embrace Trump’s proposed nondefense cuts. Pelosi bragged

Dana Milbank Washington Post Writers Group that “we handed President Trump a resounding defeat.”

That wasn’t entirely true.

Trump got spending increases for defense and for border security, and more school choice in the form of the D.C. Scholarship Opportunity Program. Trump called the bill “a clear win for the American people.”

Unfortunately, that wasn’t the lesson he wound up taking away from the experience. An aide said Trump was angry that Democrats were “spiking the ball” by declaring victory.

Trump tweeted that, when the current agreement expires, “Our country needs a good ‘shutdown’ in September to fix mess!”

This is exactly the wrong instinct, because such thinking created the Trumpcare abomination on Thursday.

Republicans hypocritically jammed the bill through the House before members could read it or it could be given a price tag. They would eliminate popular protections for people with pre-existing conditions, make older people pay more, and give huge tax breaks to the wealthy. They would even eliminate protections against catastrophic costs for people on their employers’ plans.

Thus did Trump and congressional leaders cause House Republican lawmakers to walk the plank on health care, passing a bill that the Senate won’t even consider, just to satisfy 30 extremists from safe districts.

And it was unnecessary.

For all the partisan fireworks, there is a health care policy consensus out there for the taking. A Kaiser Family Foundation poll last month found a broad consensus on many health care policies that crosses party lines: allowing the federal government to negotiate Medicare drug

How could the people’s representatives swing, in the space of 24 hours, from bipartisan congratulations to partisan recriminations? The difference was in Trump’s approach. prices (92 percent), making it easier to bring generic drugs to market (87 percent) and requiring drug companies to disclose how they set prices (86 percent). The major elements of Obamacare, except for the individual mandate, are broadly popular. What Americans want, across party lines, is what Obamacare didn’t do well: making overall health care and prescriptions cheaper overall.

In fact, on most issues, there is more consensus among Americans than most people realize. Research by the centrist group Third Way finds there is a consensus in favor of renewable energy (if it isn’t paired with rules cracking down on fossil fuels), citizenship for illegal immigrants (if paired with crackdowns on border security and illegal hiring), American leadership abroad (if it doesn’t mean boots on the ground) and universal background checks on gun sales (if there aren’t gun bans).

The problem is the consensus on these and many other issues breaks down when it is filtered through the lens of party. Once parties take sides, Americans take cues from leaders and shift their views to get in line.

If Trump, who only recently became Republican, wants to win until we’re tired of winning, there’s an obvious path to consensus. Alternatively, he and the members of the Freedom Caucus can celebrate the virtues of partisan polarity and ideological purity — in a very small room.

college athletics.

“I knew I was good enough (to play college basketball), but I’m not good enough to play at the schools I wanted to attend,” she said.

And because she already has 1½ years of community college credit under her belt — courtesy of dual credit classes offered at Allen Community College — Wade figured competing at the junior college level would be too short to fully appreciate.

“It was a very hard decision, because I had always thought I’d go to college to play basketball,” Wade said.

IN THE end, Wade’s scholastic memories have come rushing together in her final days at IHS. “I’m going to miss seeing my friends every day,” she said. “You see them in the summer, but it’s not the same.”

She’ll miss classes with Dianne Kauth, who helped Wade foster her love of math.

“I guess I won’t miss lunch,” she said sheepishly.

One memory stands out.

Wade’s eighth-grade year was coming to a close when she earned a B in science, her first and only non-A as a middle-schooler.

At the year-end awards assembly, Wade saw several classmates recognized for maintaining a 4.0 grade point average. She wasn’t one of them.

“I said to myself, ‘That will not happen again,’” she recalled.

Mailbox Continued from A1

There weren’t really any close calls, either.

“There were some tough classes here and there, but I made sure I kept monitoring my grades, doing extra credit so I knew it wouldn’t come down to the wire,” she said.

So where did she get that drive?

Wade credits her parents, Mark and Jenise Wade — “They’re both really competitive, too,” — and her grandfather, longtime IHS teacher and administrator Don Bain.

“I’d go over to his place and work, and he’d help explain things to me if I needed help.”

And, without a hint of conceit, Wade credits herself. “I’ve just always been driven.”

Time management, particularly in her younger years, was key.

“I’d come home after basketball, and stay up late to get my homework done,” she said. “When you’re a freshman and sophomore, the teachers would make sure you had homework every day.”

IHS commencement ceremonies are at 2 p.m.

Saturday in the high school gymnasium, part of a day packed with diplomas being awarded throughout the region.

Allen Community College’s commencement ceremony is planned for 10:30 a.m. at the ACC gymnasium.

Also having high school commencement ceremonies Saturday are Crest, Humboldt and Marmaton Valley. Yates Center’s is Sunday; Southern Coffey County’s is on May 20.

Red Devils knocked out in Topeka TOPEKA — After beginning the season 10-23, it seemed unlikely that the Allen Community College softball team would be able to advance to the second round of regionals this season. They did just that last week and although that trip did not go the way they wanted, just making it there is a great accomplishment that half the region’s teams can’t say they did.

The Red Devils went 0-2 in Topeka with a 4-1 loss to Johnson County Community College and a 12-8 loss to Murry State College.

In the opener with the Cavaliers, the Red Devil bats could not get going as they mustered just three hits as a team in support of Sierra Thompson.

Thompson pitched a complete game and allowed four runs on seven hits with two walks and two strikeouts.

Against Murry State, sophomore Raegan Beckley gave up five runs in the opening frame, but settled in after that and her team crawled back to a tie game after six innings.

The Red Devils gave up six runs in the seventh inning and weren’t able to recover as they fell 12-8.

Beckley allowed eight earned runs on 13 hits with three walks and two strikeouts.

Freshman Winter Henry led the Red Devils with four hits while freshman Dela Boyd had three.

BASEBALL The Red Devils’ baseball season came to an end at Barton Community College this weekend in the first round of regionals.

Allen was swept 7-5 and 156.

ON THE RISE Fillies continue upswing with talented freshmen

By JON DYKSTRA The Iola Register

CHANUTE — The Iola Fillies have an incredibly young track and field team this season, but with that youth comes an equally incredible bright future.

Elysia Kunkler headlines a group of six freshmen who are looking to take the program to the next level

over the next couple of years.

“It was pretty exciting because my first practice, I came in and they had like four girls last year and (our class) doubled the size,” Kunkler said. “We were all really excited that we could bring in a lot more people to the track team and I think we will be able to break some more records by See TRACK | Page B4

Snavely sets tone for Fillies to earn split against Eagles

By JON DYKSTRA The Iola Register

Iola sophomore pitcher Sierra Snavely throws to first base after fielding a ground ball during the Fillies’ game two win over Wellsville. Snavely was playing despite fouling a ball off of her chin in game one. REGISTER/JON DYKSTRA

Sierra Snavely took one on the chin on Saturday morning, but the Fillies sophomore pitcher was anything but knocked out.

Snavely fouled a ball off of her chin early in game one and admits that she saw “stars” for a moment. Even so, she stayed in the game and delivered some of her best pitching of the season.

“It knocked me around for a

minute and I was seeing stars, but I did not want to be pulled out of the game right then,” Snavely said. “I just wanted to continue through the game and do it for my team.”

The Fillies battled to a 1-1 tie until the sixth inning when the Eagles’ super sophomore Kelsie Klamm hit a two-run home run to give Wellsville an eventual 3-1 game one victory.

Klamm is batting .451 with five home runs this season.

The Fillies got their run after a single by Sydney Wade,

who scored on a two-out double by senior Riley Murry.

Freshman Kelsey Morrison had the only other two hits of the game for Iola.

Snavely allowed two earned runs on seven hits with no walks.

“She definitely showed some toughness,” Iola coach Chris Weide said.

In game two, the Fillies were able to turn the tables and deliver the Eagles just their

Chanute’s Tyler Kidwell wins the B Mod race at Humboldt Speedway on Friday night. FINISHLINE PHOTOGRAPHY/DAYTON SUTTERBY

Racing: Kidwell, Westhoff win Continued from B1

Shane Collins and fellow front row starter Tim Van Gotten. Last week’s winner Cody Jolly started third but fell to sixth, Lucas Isaacs and Brian Bolin rounded out the top five.

Just as five was magical to Keeter in Modifieds, the same goes for St. Joseph, Mo.’s John Willard. Willard started on the pole and outdistanced Barry Luthi and Eric Ikehorn on a late restart for his fifth win of the season at Humboldt Speedway.

The Factory Stock division has been one of the most competitive divisions at Humboldt Speedway in this early 2017 race season.

Over that stretch there have been multiple winners and Chanute’s Jon Westhoff added his

name to the list again picking up his third-consecutive win. Westhoff blasted from his third starting spot and fended off Jacob Ellison and Wayne Johnson for the win.

In Street Stocks, Jay Lamons Jr., found all the speed he needed to maintain his pole position start to pick up the win.

South Coffeyville’s Rusty Etherton and Shane Cook provided some late race action but didn’t have enough for Lamons Jr. Street Stocks will have the week off next week.

Next Friday at Humboldt Speedway, the American Bank of Oklahoma ASCS Red River Region presented by Smiley’s Racing Products returns to Humboldt Speedway before

teaming back up with the ASCS Warriors at Springfield. For this special show, Whelen All-American NASCAR Modifieds, Ray’s Metal Depot B Mods, Factory Stocks and Sport Compacts will compete.

Street Stocks will return on May 19. Also on that night, Humboldt Speedway will hold its Teacher’s Appreciation Night at the Races. Area teachers and support staff will be admitted free with their school ID cards.

In addition, donations of new school supplies will be accepted. New pencils, pens, paper notebooks and notebook paper will are suggested, these items will be distributed by KNEA Teachers Group into area school for the 201718 school year.

Softball: Fillies are 7-3 in last 10 games Continued from B1

Iola senior Riley Murry rounds third and scores after going first-to-home on a double against Wellsville at Riverside Park on Saturday. REGISTER/JON DYKSTRA

second loss of the season in the Pioneer League.

“Wellsville is one of the best teams in the state,” Weide said. “For us to come out and get a split after losing the first game is a testament to how well these girls play.”

The Fillies offense got rolling in the first inning when senior Jadyn Sigg — who leads the team with a .434 batting average — doubled to center field and Murry scored all the way from first base to give Iola the lead.

Snavely helped herself with a single to score Sigg a batter later.

Wellsville did what good teams do and responded with three runs in the third inning, but the Fillies — who have been proving lately just how good they are —

returned the favor with three in the bottom of the frame.

After a Sigg double and walks to Murry and Snavely loaded the bases, Morrison unloaded on a pitch with a double to left field and the Fillies recaptured the lead at 5-3.

“I’m always nervous,” Morrison, who is hitting .303 this season, said.

“But you just have to say ‘OK, I can do this,’ and hit the ball.”

They built on the lead in the fourth when Sigg singled to score Wade with two outs.

Sophomore Chloe Gardner got into the act in the sixth inning with a double to score Wade and make the score 7-3.

The Eagles battled back with two runs in the seventh, but Snavely was able to stop the

bleeding there and the Fillies had their 7-5 win.

Sigg led the team with three hits while Morrison had two and Snavely gave up just three earned runs.

Weide has been preaching — and praying — that his team would be playing their best ball at the end of the season. The girls have been making their coach look like a prophet.

After starting the season 1-7, the Fillies are 7-3 in their last 10 games and have the chance to finish the season at .500 if they can sweep a three-win Santa Fe Trail team on the road Tuesday.

“We talked early in the season about how our schedule was and I think that is why we are playing so well now,” Weide said. “We played

some great competition and it is really preparing us for Wellsville, Santa Fe Trail and regionals in Burlington.”

Weide also has said he believes this team can make a state tournament run this season.

With the way they are currently playing, this reporter is not going to be the one to doubt him.

“Everyone is really excited to keep going on,” Morrison said. “We are getting better and better each game.”

SENIOR DAY The Fillies honored seniors Wade, Murry and Sigg, along with their parents, between games.

“They are a huge part of our program,” Weide said. “Where we are now is because of those three.”

Track: Kunkler, Billings shine Continued from B1

by the time we are seniors.”

Kunkler’s talent was on full display at Friday’s Thad Clements Invitational in Chanute.

The highlight of the day came in her signature race, the 100-meter hurdles, when she finished second. The only runner to top the freshman was last year’s 5A state champion Taylor Muff from Pittsburg, who ran a 14.83.

Kunkler — who broke the school record in the event earlier this season — ran a 16.4. Muff and Kunkler were both well ahead of the rest of the pack, led by Chanute’s Jayci Vietti, who took third.

“She is progressing the way she needs to,” Iola coach Dana Daugharthy said. “She is setting herself up for that state run.”

Kunkler said she is still working to perfect the three-step approach.

“At Burlington on Tuesday, the hurdles seemed really far, I don’t know why, because they obviously weren’t, but I was also hurting, so I four-stepped,” Kunkler said. “I think I am getting really close to getting it down. It is just muscle-memory and I am getting there.”

Kunkler also took third in both the 100-meter dash (12.91) and the 300-meter hurdles (51.94). She opened the day with a fourth-place 15’11” jump in the long jump. Both marks were personal bests for the young Filly.

“I am going to try to make it in all four events,” Kunkler said about her hopes for the state meet. “My goal, for sure, is to make it in the 100-meter hurdles. I’d be very happy if I made it in all four events, but (the 100-meter hurdles) is my race.”

Altogether, Kunkler accounted for 24 team points for the Fillies, who finished fourth with 35 points as a team.

Kunkler’s points alone were more than Coffeyville (23.3), Fort Scott (23), Labette County (17.3) or Frontenac (16) scored as a team.

Elka Billings also had a banner day Friday.

Billings placed third in the 800-meter run (2:38.78) and fifth in the 1600-meter run (6:03.69).

Billings has been running with the Mustang runners in practice.

“I think her running with the boys makes her stronger,” Daugharthy said. “She can keep up with them now and that competition makes her better.”

With Kunkler serving as the leader for future Fillies’ sprinters and Billings being the same example-setter for the distance runners, it is easy to see why Daugharthy is so excited about this class which also features Ella Taylor, Christine Helman, Sierra Petty and Melany Dean.

“I think with athletes like Elysia and Elka leading the way, it will get more girls to come out,” Daugharthy said.

“It is going to be something they will want to be a part of.”

MUSTANGS The Mustangs are also a very young group this season, but there isn’t any question that Chase Regehr is the captain of the team.

“He has been our leader the past two years,” Daugharthy said.

Regehr took fifth on Friday in the 800-meter run with a 2:12.06.

“Overall, I don’t think I did very well today compared to my other times,” Regehr said. “But this is also the first time we’ve had two meets in one week and that really took it out of us. They were two long and competitive meets, so I knew if I could place here, it would be good. My times could have been better, but I’ll save them for next week.”

Regehr is focusing on the Pioneer League Meet this Thursday, where he hopes to recapture the title in the event.

“I’m excited, but I’m also nervous. I see the light at the end of the tunnel as my sports career winds down,” Regehr said. “Obviously, I want to go out with a bang at league.”

The senior was also a part of the 4x800-meter relay team, which finished fourth by running a 9:08.82.

“Bryce Andres ran a 2:19, which is his best split of the year,” Daugharthy said.

Junior Kanyon Beasley had the top finish of the day for the Mustangs by taking third in the javelin with a throw of 139’8”.

“Kanyon set his personal-best by over 6 feet,” Daugharthy said.

“His progression has been really nice.”

Freshman Dan Foust finished fifth in the 300-meter hurdles with a 43.68.

UP NEXT The Pioneer League Meet is Thursday in Wellsville.

Today, the team will host its junior varsity meet beginning at 3:30 p.m., at Riverside Park.

Iola senior Chase Regehr runs in the 800-meter race during the Thad Clements Invitational on Friday in Chanute.

Regehr finished fifth with a 2:12.06 and was a part of the 4x800 relay team that finished fourth with a 9:08.82. REGISTER/JON
