NWA Democrat-Gazette/BEN GOFF @NWABENGOFF Blakelee Winn of Pea Ridge leads the 3rd heat of the girls 100 meter hurdles Thursday, April 18, 2019, during the Wolverine Relays at Bentonville West in Centerton. Winn won with a time of 15.60 seconds.

CENTERTON -- Blakelee Winn could have requested a lighter workload, especially with the 4A-1 Conference just four days away.

That wasn't the case Thursday evening. The Pea Ridge sophomore took on four events and earned the girls' high-point honor with 34 points during the inaugural Wolverine Invitational.

"I just do whatever coach (Heather Wade) needs me to do for the team," Winn said. "I was trying to fine-tune the hurdles and probably the long jump. There's a lot of competition here with 6A schools, but it's good competition for me to get PRs and stuff."

Multiple events -- and even multiple sports -- are nothing new to Winn this spring. Earlier this month, she competed in the Blackhawk Relays in Pea Ridge, left to briefly play in a softball game where she hit a home run, then returned to the track to compete again.

She won the girls 100-meter hurdles with a personal-best time of 15.60 seconds, then took second place behind Bentonville West's Grace Posey in the 100 and second in the long jump with a personal-best 16 feet, 11.75 inches. However, her endurance was put to the test in the high jump.

Winn had to go through a sudden-death jumpoff with Bentonville High's Lydia Pehlman after both finished tied at a height of 4-10. Pehlman eventually won the jumpoff after clearing 4-10 again.

"It was killing me," Winn said. "The last time I had done the high jump was about four or five meets ago, but I had never gone this high. I would try to rest, but I have a softball game (today)."

Fayetteville swept the team titles in one of the final regular-season meets before conference meets take place next week, and many teams competed without their full rosters. Fayetteville's girls compiled 143 points to win their division, followed by Rogers High with 106.5, Bentonville High with 96.5 and Pea Ridge with 85.

The boys division was much tighter as Fayetteville scored 128 points, followed by Rogers High with 115 and Bentonville West with 87. Fayetteville didn't clinch the team title until the 3,200, when Gabe Hardin, Anton Michna and Carter Betts have the Bulldogs a 2-3-5 and scored 18 points.

"We're just trying to finish up and get what we think can help us in the next two weeks," Fayetteville coach Drew Yoakum said. "We still looking at people in some areas. Carter Betts did well for us in the 800, and we looked at Isaiah Sategna in the 400. We're trying to piece things together and hope everything falls into place

"It's going to be a dogfight to the end when Bentonville has its distance kids here. It's going to be a fight until the end, and we know it. It's going to be fun, for both boys and girls, and we hope somebody from the 6A-West will pull out the titles."

The first high school meet at Wolverine Stadium didn't come without its glitches. Early-morning rain led to flooding and caused the shot put to be moved onto the stadium turf inside the track, and the pole vault had to be done inside the Wolverine Athletic Complex.

The meet, however, ended with the first race of its kind -- the mixed 4x400 relay, which will be an event in the 2020 Summer Olympics. West's team of Nick Whitlatch, Daniel Lestina, Rachel Wilson, Jada Curtis won the event with a time of 3 minutes, 52.02, just ahead of Springdale Har-Ber at 3:53.37.

"Once the meet got going, I think everything went without a hitch," West coach Brad LaBass said. "We had a lot of compliments by coaches, and it seemed like everybody had a great time.

"I'm pretty sure this is the first time in Arkansas a mixed 4x400 has been run. The fans were excited, and the kids were excited. The track was lined with kids on both sides, supporting, and was sweeter that we won it."
