Sevastopol's Kiegen Sargent was hoping to improve on his state placement in one event and qualify in another before his senior season was cut short just six days in.
Sargent placed sixth at the WIAA State Track Meet held LaCrosse last year in long jump, setting a one foot personal record in the process. Reaching the 20 foot barrier seven times in 2019, he leapt 21' 5" at state to capture a medal. Sargent missed out on state in the 100M dash, but improved from his 2018 sectional time. Sevastopol track coach Dennis Ploor said in the school's spring sports video salute video that even though his four-year senior year was cut short, Sargent has big things on the horizon.
After this year, he will be joining the National Guard Infantry and UW-Stevens Point and studying Forestry.
