Kansas Relays 2025 Recap
Bonner Springs, Piper and Sumner win medals
Five Wyandotte County schools sent their best track and field athletes to Lawrence to compete against the Midwest’s best at the 94th Kansas Relays. With large event fields from the region’s top high schools (nearly 100 entries in the boys’ 100-meter dash for example), the event is the most challenging that most athletes will see all year.
The meet saw several new records set, including the boys’ 4×800-meter relay record, last set in 1965 by a Wichita East squad that included famous Kansas miler, and later congressman, Jim Ryun. Ryun was in attendance at the meet and saw the Bentonville, Arkansas team break his 50-year old record.
Piper’s Nora Turney set a new school record in the girls’ 300-meter hurdles, clocking in at 45.45 seconds, over two seconds quicker than her Relays’ performance last year, which was also then a school record.
Her 2025 mark was good enough for eighth place. The top nine in each event are awarded medals.
Also earning medals, Corey Rolfe of Bonner Springs landed a triple jump of 13.77 meters (45-feet, 2 1/4-inches) to claim seventh place in the event, and Sumner Academy’s Sommyr Moore was right behind in eighth place, with a distance of 13.62 meters (44-feet, 8 1/4-inches).
