Caldwell’s Kylee White Earns State Trip in 1,600-Meter Run

kylee-white-2

A personal-best time has earned Caldwell County eighth grader Kylee White a spot at the Class 2A state track and field championships in Lexington the first week of June.

White placed second in the 1,600-meter run in Saturday’s Class 2A 1st Region meet at Paducah Tilghman in a time of 5:52.11. That was White’s best time ever.

She trailed only Calloway County sophomore Reese Settle, who won the event in 5:47.10.

The top two in each event at the regional automatically qualify for state. The next 10 best times from all of the regions across the state will also qualify, but those won’t be known until every region has its meet.

White is the only Lady Tiger headed to state — so far.

Caldwell’s girls finished third in the team standings on Saturday.

The Lady Tigers totaled 55 points, trailing only Calloway County (185) and Paducah Tilghman (150).

Trigg County (50) was fourth, followed by Webster County (49), Union County (28) and Hopkins County Central (20).
