Peabody-Burns senior Seth Topham set two school records en route to regional victories Friday in Herington. Lucas Larsen, Corbin Rives and Braxton Kyle also qualified for the state meet along with Topham, who will compete in two events this weekend.
“Seth Topham and Braxton Kyle qualified in high jump by placing second and fourth,” Coach Brian Lightner said. “Topham’s jump of 6-4 tied him for the school record.”
Topham also broke the 56-year-old, 110-meter hurdle school record with his preliminary round time of 15.59.
“We had eight personal records and two school records set Friday evening,” Lightner said.
Larsen and Rives placed third and fourth in javelin with throws of 152-8 and 151-7, respectively.
