PREP TRACK: Pea Ridge sweeps 4A-1 Conference titles

PEA RIDGE -- Pea Ridge's boys used the 200-meter dash to give the rest of their 4A-1 Conference competition the three-count.

Connor Escajeda, Cooper Elliott and Patrick Elliott took the top three spots in that race and led the Blackhawks to their third conference track championship during Monday's meet at Blackhawk Stadium. Pea Ridge finished the meet with 156 points while second-place Farmington had 130, followed by Gentry at 106.

"We definitely needed that," Pea Ridge coach Asa Poteet said. "We knew those three guys had a good chance of doing that and giving us that result. It was nice to see them come through and really perform the way they are capable of doing."

Just 10 points separated the top five boys teams through 12 events as Gentry owned a slim 88-85 lead over Pea Ridge, followed by Gravette with 82, Harrison with 80 and Farmington with 78. Farmington, however, scored 21 points in the 800 as Zach Akridge (2 minutes, 8.36 seconds) won, Ruben Whitney (2:10.31) took second and Collin Hummel (2:15.04) finished sixth, and that gave the Cardinals a 99-94 lead over the Blackhawks.

The next race, however, was the 200, and that's when Pea Ridge made its move and took the team lead for good with a 140-120 cushion. Escajeda turned in a season-best time of 22.67 seconds to win the race, followed by Cooper Elliott at 23.86 and Patrick Elliott at 23.89 while Adam Trammell finished eighth to give the Blackhawks 25 points.

"I just told them to run like they think they can," Poteet said. "I just spoke confidence into them. That's all I ever do or tried to do. I knew three of the top four was a good possibility, but I also knew we were capable of one-two-three.

"It was definitely the order I thought they would finish. However, little brother Patrick came in and tried to pass big brother Cooper at the last second."

Pea Ridge, the defending Class 4A state champion, also took the girls' team title, and it wasn't close. The Lady Blackhawks compiled 199 points, while Farmington was a distant second with 109 and Gravette was third at 85.

Even with coach Heather Wade changing up some events and giving sophomore standout Blakelee Winn a lighter load, Pea Ridge took first place in seven events. That included two by Winn in the long jump with a personal-best 17 feet, 3.75 inches and in the 400 with her time of 1:01.72.

"We were trying to get some more kids prequalified in some events," Wade said. "I spent the last week looking at times and stuff and saw where we could get others in the state meet. If we had people already prequalified, we wouldn't run them in those events if I thought I could get a few more in.

"I was able to get a couple more in the 200, one more in the 100 and another in the 300 hurdles. I think things worked out pretty well."

Cassidy Mooneyhan set the meet record in the girls' pole vault for the second straight year as the Pea Ridge junior cleared 11-6, surpassing the 11-0 she cleared last year.
