YATES CENTER — Some of the best athletes in the area weren’t about to let a little wind get in their way.

Each school had standout performers in one venue or another.

For Marmaton Valley, the Granere siblings, Jaedon and Janae, proved tough. Jaedon Granere won the boys 100- and 200-meter dashes, while Janae was tops in the 200 as well as in the long jump and triple jump.
