Hillmen get six events to state
Schambow breaks Platteville boys triple jump record
12A Schambow
RECORD BREAKER Platteville senior Brock Schambow broke the school record in the triple jump (445) to place second at Thursdays WIAA Division 2 Lancaster Sectional and earn his first trip to the WIAA State Championships.

LANCASTER — Platteville senior Brock Schambow bounded, skipped and leaped his way to a new school record in the boys’ triple jump at Thursday’s WIAA Division 2 Lancaster Sectional and in the process qualified for this weekend’s WIAA State Championships in La Crosse.

Schambow finished second in the boys’ triple jump with a new school record 44’5¾” to earn his first trip to state.

Schambow will be joined at state by fellow Platteville record-breaking senior Skye Digman, junior distance runner Jace Serres, junior triple jumper Tyler Moss, and the 4x100 relay team of Moss, seniors Donovan Blevins and Christian Seamster and sophomore Max Allion.

The Hillmen qualified six events for this year’s state meet that will begin Friday at UW–La Crosse. Division 2 and 3 competition begins Friday at 3 p.m. Saturday’s finals begin at 9:30 a.m.

Digman, who set the PHS girls’ shot put record earlier this year and is second on the all-time Hillmen list for discus, won the sectional title in the discus with a throw of 130’4” and finished second in the shot put at 40’9” to earn her third trip to state.  She placed 13th in the D2 shot put as a sophomore and 10th a year ago in the event. Digman also finished seventh in the discus at last year’s state meet.

Serres placed fourth in the 1,600 with a time of 4:30.39, which is seventh best in PHS history, to earn his third trip to state. He was a member of Platteville’s 4x800 state relays the past two years.

Moss finished fifth in the triple at Thursday’s sectional  with a distance of 43’6¾”, good for fourth on Platteville’s all-time list, but earned an extra qualifier berth to state.

The top four finishers in each event at sectionals automatically qualifies for state, in addition to any individual or relay that places among the eight best of all sectional performances.

Platteville’s 4x100 relay Moss, Blevins, Seamster and Allion finished fourth at regionals in 44.43 seconds.

Blevins competed at state in the 4x100 last year as a junior. This will be Moss’, Seamster’s and Allison’s first appearance at the state track and field meet.
