Kylee Skidmore Wins 1A State Championship

In thrilling fashion, Kylee Skidmore, a sophomore from P.K. Younge, defeated freshman Megan Walker, from Port St. Joe, to win the 2009 1A FHSAA State Championship. This appears to be one of many match-ups between these two as they are both so young, keep in mind that Lindsey Enders, a sophomore from Holy Trinity School, was not in the meet, but had a personal best of 11’6″ this year. With the inclusion of Enders, this young trio should be fantastic to watch for the next couple of years.

After the conclusion of the regular meet, Kylee and Megan were tied at 10’6″, with each competitor having the same number of misses. After one more attempt at 11′, the bar was lowered to 10’9″ as the competition intensified. Kylee barely missed at 10’9″ and Megan stumbled at the end of her approach causing her to stall out, pole in full bend. Megan let go of the pole and the pole went flying through the air, I’m not sure anyone ever found the tip.. The bar was then lowered to 10’6″ where Kylee successfully cleared it. Megan was unsuccessful in her attempt, but she showed the heart of a lion by taking off after such a disastrous attempt at a 10’9″. Rounding out the girls results were:

• 3rd place – Samantha Beckham – 12th Grade – Cedar Key High – 10’6″
• 4th place – Kelly Robinson – 11th Grade – Community School of Naples – 10′
• 5th place – Ali Battista – 10th Grade – Westminster Academy – 9’6″
• 6th place – Ashleigh Lewis – ? – Port St. Joe – 9’6″
• 6th place – Kamila Silva – 11th Grade – South Florida Heat – 9’6″
• 8th place – Christina Irizarry – Dade Christian – 9’6″
