As far as tornado storms go, this one was a snoozy
by Tracy McCue, Sumner Newscow — Two tornadoes may have touched down Sunday afternoon in Sumner County, but it was so insignificant and quick that it was hard to tell if they reached the ground, said James Fair, Director of Sumner County Emergency Management.
This storm will be remembered more for large hail that fell in the Conway Springs area.
Tornado spotters said there was a tornado which formed due north of Drury and east of Caldwell. Fair said it was a land spout tornado which roped its way down to earth. Land spout tornados often form along the leading edge of rain-cooled downdraft air from a thunderstorm.

State track preview: Wellington girls have high hopes for big weekend; other Sumner County state qualifiers
by Tracy McCue, Sumner Newscow — The Kansas State Track and Field Championships will be held this next weekend at Wichita State University Cessna Stadium (Sumner County state qualifiers listed below). The Wellington High School girls could be a big player in the big show.
After finishing second place at the Class 4A Regional in Andale on Friday (see story here), Wellington has 10 girls entries in state. Of those 10, six of those are seeded in the top eight with a real chance of placing.
What does that mean? Wellington as a team could rack up a lot of points, putting the team in elite status at state.
Sunday blog: What summer ball has become
by Tracy McCue, Sumner Newscow — My son, who is 11-years-old, asked me a few weeks ago if he could play baseball. I was a little surprised. He had never showed interest in playing the game. He hadn’t played since his T-Ball days. He said one of his buddies wanted him to play with him.
I was OK with that, but feared my son may be a step behind with some of his teammates coming in so late to the game.
It didn’t work out for a myriad of reasons. Ultimately, it came down to the fact Quinn is a busy boy, at least during the evening, and baseball got cut from the schedule.
Wellington girls place 2nd in regional, Megan Campbell, Holly Wright becomes 4-time state qualifier
by Tracy McCue, Sumner Newscow — The Wellington girls track team placed second in the Class 4A Regional in Andale Friday.

Wellington accumulated 79 points. Andale had 79 and Pratt had 66.5. Andale was also the winner of the boys with 168. Wellington had 7.
As expected, Wellington High School Senior Megan Campbell was sensational. She became a four-time state qualifier in the 100, 200, 4×100 meter and 4×400 meter relays. She wasn’t the only one: Holly Wright is a four-time state placer in the 200, the 100 meter hurdles, and the two relay teams.
