West Stanly runner sets school record at Wendy’s Invitational

By Daniel Smith

Tuesday, October 7, 2008 The West Stanly boy’s and girl’s cross country teams competed in the 34th annual Wendy’s Invitational at McAlpine Park in Charlotte on Saturday.

History was made as Colt senior Daniel Yeakley broke a school record that had stood for 14 years. Yeakley finished the 5K course in 16:06, finishing runner-up in the prestigious Wendy’s race that included 29 other teams, mostly 3A schools, and 199 other runners.

Yeakley surpassed Daniel Poole’s previous West Stanly 5K record of 16:10 that was set in 1994.

Yeakley’s teammate and fellow senior, Andrew Smith, finished second for the Colts by coming across the finish line at the 16:55 mark and earning a 16th place finish. Smith and Yeakley are two of only six West Stanly runners to ever finish a 5K race in under 17 minutes.

West Stanly junior Matthew Poplin finished with a time of 18:01 to come in third for the Colts and 71st overall.

Senior Zach Allen finished in 18:14 to place fourth for West and 90th overall, while sophomore Kirby Carpenter rounded out the West Stanly top five by finishing the race in 18:30. The Colts finished the day in eighth place out of 29 teams.

The West Stanly girl’s team finished in 13th place out of 22 teams at the meet.

The Lady Colts were led by junior Brooke Benton who finished the 5K course with a time of 22:20.

She was followed by freshman Taylor Ferree (22:50), junior Emily Huneycutt (22:55) and sophomore Katlyn Speights (23:20).

The West Stanly cross country teams will host Albemarle, North Stanly, South Stanly and Gray Stone for the Stanly County Championship Meet this afternoon at the Oakboro District Park.

The boys’ race will begin at 4 p.m. with the girls’ race following afterward at approximately 4:45.

The conference meets will be on Tues., Oct. 14th.
