Nebraska’s fastest girl: Bethany DeLong
By Will Cummings
Hit News from hithighlights.com
Bethany DeLong all alone on way to another 100 meter vicorty at April 19th Sioux City Relays.
Inside Nebraska’s sparsely populated corridors, nestled in the town of Laurel (population 986), resides the state’s fastest high school girl sprinter and someone you should get to know.
Already this season, sophomore Bethany DeLong of Laurel-Concord (Class C) has blazed the 100 meters in 11.9 (faster than current state all-class record) and the 200 meters in 24.9, making her the state’s current girls all-class leader in both events.
Laurel’s head boys track coach, Terry Beair, described Delong’s prowess this way: “I have been coaching for nearly 20 years and never have I been associated with such a talent before.” “I think we’re just starting to see what Beth is capable of,” said Nate Sims Laurel’s girls head track coach. Those are scary statements if you’re the competition. Especially when you consider that the 5′ 9″ powerfully built DeLong is only a sophomore.
DeLong, who also carries a 3.44 GPA, not only aspires to win all-class gold in the 100 and 200 meters, but she also has her eyes on someday breaking the all-class records in each event, which currently stand at 11.94 and 24.06. Her coaches believe that since DeLong has reached her current level of being more consistent that if she continues to work hard and focuses on improving on a daily basis that many of the things she is capable of will happen. In addition to being the top girl sprinter in the state, DeLong also was 1st team all conference and honorable mention all-state in basketball, averaging 11 points and 9 rebounds per game.
Bethany’s heroes are her mom and dad (played college football at Springfield College). She has an older sister, Candice, and brother, Colten ( plays basketball at Northeast Community College). Tentatively, Bethany plans to attend college and to major in a discipline that is sports related.
My bet is that If DeLong continues to improve; one thing that she shouldn’t have to worry about is paying for her college education.
Bethany Delong is definitely one of Nebraska’s finest high school athletes and one to watch!!!

Metro day one: Sisson sizzlels and photo finishes
By Will Cummings
Hit News from hithighlights.com
Nic by a nose: Nic Johnson (4th from left) leans past Matt Evers to win Metro 400 meter title.
Fans attending day one of the Metro Track and Field Meet were treated to a couple of photo finishes and some impressive performances from Omaha area high school athletes. On top of the list of top notch performances of the day was the final heat of the boys 400 meter race.
The race featured Omaha North’s Nic Johnson and Bellevue East’s Matt Evers battling down the backstretch towards an eventual photo finish that ultimately separated the winner from the loser by a mere one one hundredth of a second. Johnson came off the last turn trailing Evers by three to five meters, before finally pulling even with him at the last possible instance. Johnson also qualified for the finals of the 100 and 200 meter dashes that will be held today at Burke High School.
The girls 400 meter race ended in similar fashion as the boys when Kianni Elahi of Millard North caught Millard West’s Tara Korshoj at the tape, after Korshoj had a twenty meter lead midway down the backstretch. The stunner of the day came in the girls high jump when Stephanie Wrobel of Papillion-La Vista South jumped 5’2″ and missed less jumps to upset Papillion’s Sarah Gilbert, who also cleared the same height.
The outstanding performance by a freshman was generated by Nicole Bourke of Papillion-La Vista South, who saved her best jump (17′ 8.5″) for last to claim second place in the long jump. Bourke started the season barely jumping over 16′, but her eager energetic style and admirable will to perform at her highest level allowed her to steadily climb the ladder throughout the season. Emily Wilkinson (Westside) won the long jump with another impressive leap of 18′ 1.25″
Congratulations to Josh Kage of Papillion for finally getting his disc form down in time to win the Metro with his throw of 154′ 7.” And of course we can’t forget the star of the season—Emily Sisson—who set two more meet records in the 3200 and 800 meter runs— she keeps going like this she will some day have a track named after her.
Congratulations to all the other boys and girls Metro Champions that I did not mention in this article.

Delaware’s Josh Watson: ‘Diamond in the rough’ chases D-I Offers
By Will Cummings
Hit News from hithighlights.com
Delaware’s Josh Watson is impressive both on the field and on film and now he takes his show on the road in an effort to receive Division I offers.
The 2008 high school football season is just around the corner, but for the nations’ seniors-to-be, who are competing to collect the precious few remaining full-ride scholarships, the season has already begun as they busily prepare for spring and summer camps.
One of the those rising seniors working his way to pick up some offers is Josh Watson, a 6’5″ 255lb defensive and offensive lineman out of Wilmington, Delaware’s John Dickinson High School. Watson is a two way starter for the Dickinson Rams, playing offensive center and defensive tackle and end. After contributing on varsity as a freshman, Watson has been a mainstay on the defensive side since his sophomore season. Although he also has huge upside as an offensive line prospect— defense is where Watson truly shines the most. And the aforementioned can be stated with certainty, because I recently had the pleasure of reviewing three entire game films of Watson in action. There is no doubt that he has the size, quickness, speed, and playing ability to be considered a solid Division I prospect. And I am not alone in my assessment, as schools like Georgia Tech, Duke, North Carolina State, Villanova, Syracuse, Michigan State and others have all expressed interest in Watson.
The attribute that separates Watson from many of his peers is his athletic ability to be a disruptive force on defense. Watson has a very nice explosive first step that gives him the consistent ability to over power and out-quick his opponents and to penetrate the line of scrimmage for loss yardage tackles and sacks. And he is also very adept at getting his hands up on quick three-step pass plays to knock down throws, which is an ability that—in my opinion—is more instinctive than it is schooled. More importantly—In this pass happy game—a D-lineman’s ability to disrupt throws is an attribute that is highly coveted by defensive coordinators. Nevertheless, his performance leaves me to wonder how much more productive Watson would be on defense if he didn’t also start on the offensive side of the ball—that’s a scary thought considering how productive he is while staring both ways!
Although starting both ways may hinder Watson’s defensive output, a more pressing issue that plagues Watson’s aspirations is through no fault of his own. The Dickinson Rams’ record last season was 2-8. Unfortunately, college prospects that play on teams with less than stellar records face an uphill battle for media recognition and post season awards, which makes it even more difficult for them to receive attention from recruiters. Nevertheless, Watson still managed to garner All-Conference honors for the past two seasons and was twice voted his team’s Most Outstanding Defensive Player during the same time span. There is no doubt in my mind, that if Watson were on a winning team that he would have achieved higher post season accolades—that’s just the way it works! That’s why it is so important for good athletes, in situations like Watson’s, to perform well during spring and summer camps and to be aggressive in sending out their films.
Watson has already attended a Nike Combine and he is on his way this weekend to an “invitation only” Nike Camp that will be held at Penn State University, and he has several other camps scheduled as well. Through his film evaluation and strong performances at camps, Watson may have an offer or two in hand before his senior season begins.
The one thing colleges won’t have to worry about is Watson’s classroom performance. Watson has a 3.6 GPA, and is interested in sports medicine, but he still has yet to decide on a college major to pursue.
Watson patterns his style of play after the Cowboy’s DeMarcus Ware, but his father, Quinton, thinks he plays more like the Dolphin’s Jason Taylor. As for me, I just think that the kid has the right stuff to be a successful D-I defensive tackle or defensive end. And perhaps one day, if he is successful and lucky enough, he will have kids his age invoking his name to describe their style of play. Tall dreams, but to make it you have to (1) dream big (2) work smart and (3) have lady luck on your side—Josh Watson already has begun working on the first two—you have to have these first, before lady luck will swing your way.
Watson is the classic example of what is referred to as a “diamond in the rough.” He is one of those unheralded players that seemingly come out of nowhere. Most of these so called “diamonds in the rough” are simply good players that attend schools in small towns and/or with lesser known and less successful football programs. Schools that find these players scrutinize them more intensely, because they have to justify to their fan base as to why this recruit your giving “our” scholarships to is not a four or five star all-everything player. Well, five star or no star a good player is a good player and Josh Watson is a good player with a lot of potential!
Over the next few months Hit Highlights looks forward to watching Watson chase his dream. We believe that based on Watson’s size, quickness and playing ability that if he stays healthy and he works hard at improving his attributes and working on his weaknesses and continues to refine his game that he will eventually receive a D-I scholarship—he already is a done deal to receive a full-ride to a DIA or D-II school.

High School Track Season: It’s a Wrap!
By Will Cummings
Hit News from hithighlights.com
Kearney’s Brett Maher on way to record jump at Nebraska State Track and Field Meet.
Beautiful weather brought forth some personal best performances and some gutsy efforts at this year’s Nebraska State Track and Field Meet, while fans in attendance caught glimpses of some future Nebraska sport legends in the making.
Millard West’s Kohlman Adema-Schulte encapsulated all the above with his two sprint performances in the 100 and 200 meter dashes. Adema-Schulte set personal best times (10.667; 21.861) in both events, and left the fans in attendance wondering “how much faster can this this thickly muscled and highly explosive junior run?” Not only did Adema-Schulte deliver the goods in the 100, he also demonstrated intelligence and guts in his upset of the states premier 200 meter sprinter, Nic Johnson.
Adema-Schulte had been soundly beat by Johnson in the 200 on two previous occasions this year. But this time he decided to beat Johnson—up front —on the corners and to hold on down the back stretch. A strategy that allowed him to gut it out for a photo finish victory and the undisputed title of the fastest boy in Nebraska. Having witnessed this young man develop through the season , there is no doubt in my mind that Adema-Schulte indeed has—all— the tools necessary to become the fastest Nebraska high school-er in state history. All he has to do is commit himself to it and stay healthy and the record books are his.
Speaking of records, Kearney’s Brett Maher is already in the books. His vault of 16′ 2″ established a new Class A vault standard. Maher also claimed All-Class gold in the long jump with a personal best jump of 22′ 10.” He continues to demonstrate why he is a clutch performer and a great pick up by the Husker coaching staff. I look for big things out of this young man in the future.
As Maher’s high school career is at its end, Central freshman LeQue Davis’career is just beginning. Davis shocked many with her upset 100 meter HH win over the defending state All-Class gold winner, K.K Houser of Lincoln SE. However, I was not one of those that was stunned by her victory, as I favored Davis coming into the contest. Davis is a special raw talent that I recognized immediately when I first saw her this year at the Millard South Invite. I was drawn to Davis while watching her long jump 17′ 9″ without any form. I talked to her coach and he told me she was just a freshman.Then I saw her run the hurdles and the 200 meters and watched how she carried herself —that’s when I was sold! Davis has the ability to become whatever her dreams and commitment lead her. If she just works average she will be good: If she truly commits she can be great!
As good as the young Davis is she could not defeat Alexandra Armes of Grand Island in the 200 meter dash. Armes is an athlete that I completely missed the boat on and she is my surprise of the meet. I didn’t think Davis would win this event, but I thought several other girls could capture the All-Class title in the 200, namely: Bethany DeLong, Nicole Brungardt or Katie Birkel., but Armes looked very good in taking the All-Class title. DeLong is a victim of having absolutely no one in her Class C to push her to top times in a state meet. I still think that heads-up she beats anyone in the state in the 100 or 200 meter dashes.
Congrats to Nebraska football recruit Cole Pensick of Lincoln Northeast for stepping up to throw a personal best (57′ 10″) to win All-Class gold in the boys shot put. Papillion’s Josh Kage also threw a PR (56′ 5″) to place third in the Class A shot put. Next year, it should be great watching Pensick and Kage battle over the 60 foot range. Omaha North’s Nic Johnson pulled off All-Class gold in the 400 with a PR of 48.97 and was so close to capturing a second All-Class gold in the 200. Central’s Daryle Hawkins skiped his way to a 36′ 9.5″ All-Class gold PR in the triple jump. Xavier Thompson, Papillion, hit a PR of 6’6″ to capture Class A high jump title. Omaha North’s Cieara Sellers definitely brought her A game by sprinting to a career best 100 meter time of 12.33. In the process, she captured the girls Class A 100 title . And how about Burke’s Jake Marousek, who placed third in the Class A 200 with a personal best of 22.257. A lot of personal best out there means that folks came to give it their best when all the chips were on the table.That’s good for us fans who got to see some great competition!

By Will Cummings
Hit News from hithighlights.com
Nic Johnson (front left) and Kohlman Adema-Schulte (front right) prepare to run
the finals of the 100 meter dash at Metro Championships.
The anticipated match up of the area’s fastest sprinters at Wednesday’s Metro Track and Field Meet helped to shed a little light on how things may shake out at this year’s state meet. Millard West’sKohlman Adema-Schulte left now doubt that he is clearly the fastest 100 meter sprinter in the metro, as he pulled away from the pack at the 50 meter mark on his way to claiming the title. Schulte hit the tape at 10.79 leaving those behind him straining in vain to at least keep on his heels—they knew there would be no catching him on this day.
North’s Nic Johnson—the one man left in the field with a chance to beat Schulte— hobbled across the finish, after having pulled up around the 80 meter mark due to cramps. Jake Marousek of Burke, the only other runner who had a legitimate chance to challenge Schulte was disqualified for a false start.
After recovering from his cramps, Johnson faced Schulte again in the 200 meter—this time with an ending more to his liking. Johnson easily beat the field of top sprinters (Schulte, Burrus and Marousek) despite having to grab at his cramping back thigh, while he was just ten meters away from the finish. Johnson clocked in at 22.22, setting notice that he will be the one to beat at state in this event. Johnson claimed both the 200 and 400 meter titles at the this year’s Metro Meet. And by the way that he runs these two events, he has a good chance of repeating this performance at state.
Daryle Hawkins of Central also walked away with two titles by winning the triple jump (46’6″) and the 110 hurdles (15.01). While Johnson and Hawkins were grabbing their titles inside the stadium, Papillion’s Josh Kage was busy collecting his two titles outside the stadium and inside the throwing rings. Kage won the shot put (53′ 7.5″) and the discus (154′ 7″). Not many athletes can master both throwing disciplines, but junior Josh Kage is proving that he is among a rare breed. Kage (6′ 4″ 250 lbs.) is a big kid with a big frame. If I were a college football scout, I would definitely be taking a good look at this athletic kid—he is only going to get bigger and better.
On the girls side: SISSON—enough said. Emily Wilkinson took home two individual titles in the long jump (18’1.25″) and triple jump (36′ 10.25″) Freshman LeQue Davis walks out from her first Metro Meet carrying two titles: 100 hurdles (14.57) and 200 meter (25.58).
Hit News Highlight Performer of the Meet is Emily Sisson. Three individual titles and three records-um! Other notable performers: You heard it here first;
Look out for Omaha North sophomore sprinter Thomas Hodges—he will be at the top of the charts!

| Forced Picks: All-Class Gold Girls
These are events where either the competition is too close and/or the nature of the event makes it too difficult to predict a clear All-Class winner. These are my choices if forced to pick: |
|
|
100 Meter Hurdles |
Laque Moen-Davis, Central (A)—But tough competition from other classes. She better not let up at the tape if she wants All-Class Gold. Also has chance at 200 meter and outside shot at long jump. KK Houser of Lincoln SE will be right there with her. Must See Final! |
|
300 Meter Hurdles |
Kianni Elahi, Millard North (A) — In close battle with Lincoln SE KK Houser. This will be a great battle to watch. Must See! |
|
Triple Jump |
Tara Korshoj, Millard West (A)—Has best jump of the year but this is a finicky event with several good jumpers that can win this event Emily Wilkinson and Anne Martin are my dark horses. |
|
Long Jump |
Emily Wilkinson, Westside (A)—If she wasn’t a little banged up she would have been a “Best Bet” in this crowded field. Right now this event is wide open, but she is my pick. This will be another Must See Event! |
|
High Jump |
Anne Martin, Waverly (B)—Why not! She is the only one this year to clear 5’8.” But again this is a finicky event. Bad day or great day by one competitor changes everything. Dark horse Sarah Gilbert. |
|
Shot Put |
Leeza Henry, Scottsbluff (B)—Again, just because she has the best throw this year. But the closeness of the competition and the nature of the event prevents me from making her a sure bet, but she is my pick. |
|
Discus |
Morgan Wilken Crofton (C) —Best season’s throw by far in this event. But all throwers have bad days. Others are still close enough behind to pull upset. |
|
Pole Vault |
Kala Friesen Alliance (B) OK. I don’t know anything about this event, but she has cleared the highest height by far. |
| Forced Picks: All-Class Gold Boys There are going to be a lot of great heads-up competition in many boys’ events. And there are several boys from different classes that will challenge for All-Class Gold. |
|
|
400 Meter |
Nic Johnson, Omaha North, (A)—Not going to be easy with several in his own class right on his shoulders. Must see Class A Finals. Matt Evers, Josh Wahl and Jase Dean are my dark horses. That’s right! I’m not sure about this one at all! |
|
800 Meter |
Jens Scholls, Deshler (C)—This is one of his four events that he may capture ALL-Class Gold even though Bertrand’s Matt Shipp has season’s best time. |
|
1600 Meter Run |
Mitch Hunt, Freemont (A)—Close call between he and his team mate. Jon Ronhovde. Must see finish! |
|
110 Hurdles |
Allen Osborn, Chardon (B)—Close competition here. But not from anyone in class A. What’s up with that? Class B and C should be great finals to watch . Class A will be good but not the times. |
|
400 Relay |
Omaha North (A)—Upsets Kearney. Well, it could happen and that’s my pick!. But this event will be a must see event! |
|
1600 Relay |
Omaha North,(A)—they’re on a roll in this tight battle with Central and Benson. Another must see! |
|
Shot Put |
Hadley Cooksley, Grand Island NW (B)—I just like his name and his distance in this close contest where ALL-Class Gold could come from any class. There is no one that is heads and shoulders above the rest here—Cole Pensick and Josh Kage are my dark horses. |
|
Discus |
Sam Frazier, McCook, (B) — Because I had to pick one and he has the best throw so far. But this is a finicky event and he has several others that will out throw him if he has a bad day. |
|
Triple Jump |
Daryle Hawkins, Central (A)—Had second best jump of season late in the year, but still several others right on his heels. Cody linder or Justin Combs are my dark horses. |
|
Long Jump |
Porter Groves. Lincoln NE (A)—Seen him jump and has best season’s jump. But this is a must see event! All classes have several jumpers at 22′ mark. Brett Maher is my dark horse. |
|
High Jump |
David Eads, Bellevue West (A)—Because I saw him jump 6’5″, even though there are a bunch of 6’6″ jumpers out there and a best jump of 6′ 7 .25″ by Crete’s John Leverson.” But he is injured. Must See Class B event with 4 jumpers at 6’6.” |
|
Pole Vault |
Bret Maher, Kearney (A)—Will upset his friend and teammate Nate Polacek and they will get into a big argument, but they will kiss and make up on their bus ride home —on the same bus that will be carrying their team championship trophy. |
| That’s how I call them! How about you? The 2008 Nebraska State track and Field meet begins Friday, May 16, at Omaha Burke Stadium and runs through Saturday May 17th. Don’t miss this one because there are going to be some great finals and some young top-notch talent like Emily Sisson, KK Houser, Laque Moen-Davis, Stephon Washington, Bethany DeLong, Emily Wilkinson, Cole, Pensick, Josh Kage, and some grisly veterans like Nate Polacek, Brett Maher, Daryle Hawkins, Jase dean; Nic Johnson and others. There are a lot of great stories to follow:
Next Friday and Saturday, all those questions will be answered.
Thanks for a great year to all the girls and boys and their coaches and parents and volunteers —despite the crappy weather you all delivered the goods.
Good look to everyone that made it to states and to all of you that fell a little short. Here’s to a great finish at state!

Kearney: They came, they saw, and they conquered—again
By Will Cummings
Hit News from hithighlights.com
Josh Mead finishes Kearney’s victory in the 4X100 relay event at Omaha North Invite.
The Kearney boys track team left no doubt that they would continue their consecutive dual meet streak by racking up 230 total points at the Omaha North Invite. Their boys team is truly deep indeed. They have solid performers at least— two deep—in most events and they are three deep in several. Their sprinters may not be the fastest, but they are a solid disciplined bunch that flawlessly works together as a team. They demonstrated as much by handily beating North’s number one rated 4X100 relay team, while posting one of the season’s best times (42.56).
It’s been three years since the Bearcats have held the Class A state championship trophy in their hands—and it won’t be four. There are only two ways that Kearney will not carry home this year’s trophy: (1) A complete meltdown or (2) a whole bunch of athletes on other teams will have to achieve times and distances that they have never achieved. Both scenarios are highly unlikely to occur.
This meet was short on flare in that there were really no eyeopening times or distances, but it did have a moment. That moment came in the boys 100 meter dash when Nic Johnson, at seventy meters, turned to his team mate, Kirk Carter (on his left) and started talking to him and pumping and waving his right arm all the way through the finish line. Johnson’s actions—deservedly so— cost him a first place finish to his teammate, Carter, who was also yelled back at Johnson but not so boisterously and without all the arm gyrations that Johnson displayed.
In short: Johnson’s actions have no place in this sport. Even more so, when your team is getting throttled by the competition. I write this in hopes that Johnson and any other young athlete that sees this will understand that “you are not on an island-alone by yourself —when you compete on the playing field.” How you conduct yourself on the field of play not only has implications for you but for your team as well. Your actions good or bad reflect upon your teammates, coaches and school—think before you act!
The Hit News Highlight Performer of the Meet is Cierra Sellers. She won the 100 meter (12.73); 200 meter (26.08); 3rd in the long jump (15’7.5″); and was a member of the winning 4×100 relay that set a meet record (48.84), which is the All-Class season’s best time . Other notable performers were: Brett Maher with victories in the pole vault (14′) and Long jump (22’6″). Despite his actions, I cannot deny Nic Johnson his due for turning in the third best Class A 400 meter time of the season. Based on what I saw, he will be a serious contender for the state 400 title. And Colin McDermott of Creighton Prep had a nice 53′ 1/2.” shot put heave. Team champions: Kearney (Boys) and Kearney (Girls).
