The Stuttgart High School Panthers hosted nine teams from across Germany for the final regular season track and field meet of the year, May 20.

“Department of Defense Schools put a couple of large meets together this year, so we had some bigger competitions than just the standard small meets which are usually four to five teams,” said Panther coach Philip Bailey. “This gave the team a chance to see their competition of the German(DoDEA) teams at one meet.”

The SHS women’s squad took first place with a total score of 158.33, edging out the Ramstein Royal’s women’s second place score of 127.66. The Panther men’s team didn’t fare as well during the meet, placing fourth overall.

“We had 42 season bests in this meet, which means we are doing it right,” Bailey said.

During Saturday’s meet, many SHS girls put forth personal best finishes in the top three places. Mary Milby, who took first place in the women’s 200-meter race with a time of 27.16, and second place in the 400-meter race with a time of 61.44.

The following Panthers placed second with personal bests: Tatiana Smith, 9th-grade, in the 1600-meter distance race with a time of 5:33.09 and in the 3200-meter distance race with a time of 12:19.58, and Annika Rivera, 10th-grade, in the 100-meter hurdles with a time of 17.05.

Third place finishes with personal bests were: Katie McLellan, 9th grade,in the 800 meter distance race with a time of 2:34.32; Anja Meier, 9th grade, in the 3200-meter distance race with a time of 12:34.50; and Sarah Steers, 12th-grade, in the 100-meter hurdles sprint with a time of 18.39.

The SHS men’s team members who had personal bests were: Paul Fullwood, 10th-grade, with a second place finish in the 3200 meter distance race with a time of 10:35.66; and Tristan Brandt, 11th-grade, with a third place finish in the long jump with a leap of 19 feet,3 inches.

The Panthers will travel to Wiesbaden over the Memorial Day weekend to compete in the European Championships.

“It took a lot of work on their part to get where we are, coming out to the workouts and taking it seriously and running hard,” Bailey said. ““A lot (players) say they don’t always like the workouts, and that’s okay. They put their hearts into it and it shows.”
