St. Viator senior Emmi Scales decided to scale back her events Friday morning.
A year ago, Scales made a historic splash at the Class 2A state track and field meet in Charleston.
"I scratched the 100-meter dash because this year I just mainly wanted to focus on the hurdles," Scales said."I still ran the 100-meter dash in sectionals to get an extra race under my belt for speed training purposes. I just wanted to have some fun today and focus on my main events."One of the top hurdlers in the Midwest, Scales said Friday's prelims were different from last season since she competed in two events.
"I was not expecting to do that in the 100, but this environment brings out the best in you," Deines said."This has been so fun, just trying to do my part for the team. I'm super happy, especially getting a personal record in the long jump. This is all new for me, a good environment to be a high-pressure situation. We're all hoping to get a championship on Saturday."
Ginsberg said the Knights put themselves in a good place for the finals.

British climber scales Everest for 17th time, the most by a non-Sherpa guideA British mountain guide has returned to Nepal’s capital after scaling Mount Everest for a 17th time, breaking his own record for the most ascents of the world’s highest mountain by a non-Sherpa guide. Kenton Cool first climbed Mount Everest in 2004 and has been doing it almost every year since then. Only Sherpa guides have scaled the mountain more times than Cool. A veteran Sherpa guide reached the peak this week for the 27th time. Cool was unable to climb Everest in 2014 because the season was canceled after 16 Sherpa guides were killed in an avalanche, and again in 2015 when an earthquake triggered an avalanche that killed 19 people. The 2020 climbing season was canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic.
