Hays High’s Keith Dryden opts for FHSU track

Posted on

Hays Post

HAYS, Kan. – With all the school options over multiple sports that Hays High senior Keith Dryden had to choose from, he made his decision to run track for the Fort Hays State University Tigers. Monday at Hays High, he signed is national letter of intent to make it official.

Keith Dryden

 

The multi-sport athlete was a receiver and defensive back in football, starting guard in basketball and this spring is excelling in sprinting events for coach Randall Rath’s Indians. Rath believes despite having the top 4A times in the 100 meters and 400 meters and being one of the four legs on the 4×100 meter relay, the 200 meters might be his best event. It is a race that he hasn’t run much yet this season, but will start doing so in meets starting this week.

Coach Randall Rath

 

Dryden stated two big reasons for his choosing FHSU. The first reason is the love that he has for his family. Dryden’s older sister Ashli competed for the Tiger’s track team, with Keith saying he has always looked up to his sister and watching her compete for FHSU helped sway his decision. The second reason allowed him to stay in the city of Hays, a place that he likes and wanted to remain so he could be close to his family.

Dryden has run some of the top times in the state this season with a 100 meters time of 10.49 seconds, 22.23 seconds in the 200 meters and 50.89 seconds in the 400 meters.

Schaffer Signing

By Dustin Armbruster

It was a long process but, after a number of school visits, it is done. On Tuesday, Albany Schaffer made her decision official, signing to play volleyball for the University of Louisiana-Monroe.

Schaffer goes down as one of the best to play in the history of the Hays High volleyball program. She holds the school record for digs in a single season with 542 her sophomore season. She also holds the second, third and fourth spots on that list, as well. Despite missing seven matches her senior season, she still finished with 508 digs for the second spot. 482 digs her junior year ranks third while her freshman campaign led to 367 digs to land fourth on the list.

Albany Schaffer

Schaffer was twice named the Western Athletic Conference player of the year, earning the honor in 2014 and 2015. She was also named Honorable Mention as a sophomore. Schaffer was named to the All-State Honorable Mention team following her senior season.

Schaffer heads to Monroe, La., to join the Division 1 program as a DS/Libero. The Warhawks went 14-18 last year and compete in the Sun Belt Conference.

Christin Nunnery

Hays High finished 29-8 this past season. Schaffer joins three other seniors to sign with collegiate programs for volleyball. Kylie Brown and Madison Prough both signed with Fort Hays State University. Taylor Groen-Younger will play at Pratt Community College.
