The Coffeyville Red Raven men's track team placed second in the region  That half of the results equation is known. What is not known yet is whether the Ravens will be crowned Jayhawk East Champions. Those conference results are still pending and the reason for that is rather cumbersome; however, the Ravens have better than 50/50 odds that when the conference results are released, they will be the Jayhawk East champions. Stay tuned.

Back to what is known, Coffeyville finished second in Region VI with 121.50 total team points, trailing only region champion Hutchinson with 135 points. Johnson County is third in the region with 119 points and Barton County was fourth with 100.50 points.

Sophomore Tom Kalisky was the region and conference champion in the men's javelin. Kalisky's best throw was measured at 209'-01". Kalisky's throw was just four inches behind former Raven Jon Rizzo for the school record. Kalisky finished second at last year's NJCAA national meet behind Rizzo. Rizzo is now a junior at Wichita State.

Sophomore Justin Victor continued his stellar year by winning winning the region and conference championship in the hammer. Victor's best mark was 189'-07".

Deondra Canaday won the region and Jayhawk East title in the shot put with a throw of 53'-07.00". Teammate Stargell Williams was right behind in second place with a throw of 52'-10.75".

Orlando Ezell won the Jayhawk East title in the long jump with a mark of 24'-04.25". Ezell was third overall in the region. Devin Screen was the Jayhawk East champion in the discus with a best mark of 157'-03". Screen was second overall in the region.

Kadeem Douglas won Jayhawk East honors in the high jump with a mark of 6'-07.50". Douglas was third in the region, but more importantly, his jump qualified him for the national meet in the high jump. Douglas also won the Jayhawk East title in the triple jump with a mark of 47'-05.00". Douglas was fourth overall in the region in the triple jump. Douglas has also qualfied for nationals in three events: long jump, triple jump and high jump.

The 4 x 800 meter relay team of Logan Garrett, Carlton Sheppard, Kelvin Musgrove and Will Taylor was the Jayhawk East Champion finishing with a time of 7:51.28. The team placed third in the region results. The time was a national qualifying time. The team had qualified previously with a composite time, but the region meet time qualifies the team outright.

Logan Garrett is the Jayhawk East champion in the 1500 meter run. Garrett finished with a time of 4:05.36 and placed fifth overall in the region.
