Derbyshire Invite
Stanfield High School
Saturday, May 9, 2026
Our Irrigon Knights were back in action on May 9th at the Derbyshire Invite in Stanfield. After the excitement and busyness of our home meet, the smaller and more relaxed atmosphere was exactly what the team needed. Athletes were able to focus on competing, supporting one another, and continuing to build momentum heading into the final stretch of the season.
Even with the laid-back setting, the Knights continued to post strong performances with more personal bests, solid marks, and multiple Top 10 finishes throughout the meet. The team atmosphere was outstanding, and it was great to see athletes encouraging each other across every event area.
The highlight of the day, however, belonged to one determined teammate who took on both the 1,500 Meter and 3,000 Meter races while wearing flamingo glasses the entire time. The motivation? A promised burger, fries, and shake for successfully completing the challenge. Sometimes motivation comes in all forms, and this one definitely kept both teammates and spectators entertained all afternoon.
Go Knights!
