Brady Oliver, a track and field athlete at Salina South High School, had an exciting end to his season at the 2025 state track meet.
After helping get his team’s bid to state at regionals, it has only been up for Oliver and his 4×400 meter relay team.
Oliver’s training and workouts started early on, as he was also on the football and wrestling teams throughout his high school career. Staying in shape during the fall and winter seasons helped set Oliver up for success for the long spring season.
Along with relay teammates Gabe Autry, Bret Jones, and Jaxon Myers, Oliver took his place on the podium at the recent state meet held in Wichita.
The team placed sixth in the 4×400 meter relay with a time of three minutes and 24 seconds.
Oliver’s running career won’t be coming to an end any time soon, as he plans to continue and further his athletic and academic career at Kansas Wesleyan University this upcoming fall.
