March 30th Week 4!

I hope Spring Break left you refreshed and rejuvenated for the final two months of the school year. Our season kicked off over break, with several athletes competing in an elite meet at Minnesota State Mankato.

Some highlights from the meet include several standout performances. Beau Nicklay moved into 2nd all-time in the long jump with a mark of 21'10". In the triple jump, Beau placed 4th, while Nathen Olarinoye finished 18th. Jayden Ott cleared 13'0", just one inch off the state standard.

The 4x200 relay team of Beau Nicklay, Ethan Deters, Ben Steele, and Matt Kawczynski placed 5th out of 15 teams with a strong time of 1:36. Mathias Zoellner competed in both the 800 and 1600 against some of the state’s top runners.

In his first varsity competition, Merrick Radke threw 38'5" in the shot put, surpassing his season goal of 37'6". His new goal is now set at 40'.

Great job to all who participated!
