Meet finishes
City Meet 5th

Dakota Valley Invitational 1st
River Cities Conference 4th
Class A-2 District Meet 6th
State Meet 28th

One of our long time goals is to be competitive in the City and in Class A.  We felt we made some progress and met the ‘be competitive’ goal with our 2nd place finish at the East Invitational.
We qualified in five events to the State Meet with five invididuals Jacob Bell 200/400/4x100, Jordan Spirk Triple Jump/4x100 Relay, Tyle Heitman Triple Jump, Tyler Hoch 4x100 and Adam Bobier 4x100. Jordan was our only medal winner with 7th place in the triple jump.
We are looking forward to next year with the kids we have returning.

2007 NE Class A State Track & Field Meet

Jordan Spirk Triple Jump 44’0  7th place
Tyler Hietman  Triple Jump 41’10 ¾ 14th place
Jacob Bell 200 Meter 22.78 9th place (personal best)
Jacob Bell 400 meter 52.03 14th place
4x100 Relay 44.47 14th place (season best time) Tyler Hoch Jacob Bell Adam Bobier Jordan Spirk.
It was a great State Meet. Jordan got into the medals and had one really good jump but fouled by a ‘toenail’. He just has had some tough luck with some tiny fouls on his big jumps the past tow weeks. The adjustments we made just weren’t 100% correct. Hopefully he will go on and jump in college so he’ll have some good jumping left. Tyle’s jump was his best of the year in a legal pit. It was a good experience for him to get to the meet and see what it takes at the State Meet.
Jacob was a little disappointed in his 400. He was in great shape at the 200 but faded into the wind. He came back in the 200 with a personal best and missed the final by a tenth of a second.
Our sprint relay ran its season best time. Tyler Hoch got us off to a great start. Jacob ran well down the back stretch. Adam Bobier ran well on the turn and Jordan was very competitive with the other anchors but we are talking tenths and hundredths at the finish. It’s nice to be competitive in the events we take but we need to get a more events to the State Meet.  

Congratulations to these SSC Track & Field Athletes that Qualified for the State Track & Field Meet

Wow…that best describes the competition at the District Meet. It’s my favorite meet of the year because so much is on the line. We thought our kids did about what they could do. Jacob came within an eyelash of qualifying in four events. Jordan got in with some other good long jumpers and they just jumped better. Tyler Heitman got in with a 2nd best effort after he tied for fourth. Brenner and Adam jumped well but just couldn’t match what they had done during the season. It was nice to see Tyler Hoch run two strong legs on our relays. I feel bad for freshman Brandon Stolze and Jacob not being able to run together at the State Meet. It would have been a good experience for Brandon.
North Platte is a nice town and they ran an excellent meet. However, I still find it hard to understand why the NSAA had us drive through three other districts meet sites to get to our assignment in North Platte.

About the best thing that happened all day was that it stopped raining! The River Cities is a tough Conference and you need to be able to compete on a state wide basis to win events and score high. If you look at the other Conference across the State you’ll see the level of performance in the River Cities is excellent. It was nice to see Jacob Bell win two Conference championships. Jordan jumped really well but the Ralston kid jumped better. We were disappointed that some of our kids did not perform at a higher level. It’s not that they weren’t trying but the performances just were not there. It’s the time of the year when everyone has high expectations that the training will pay off in personal bests and places.

Congratulations to Conference Champions Jacob Bell in the 400 Meters and our 4x400 team of Adam Bobier Tyler Hoch Brandon Stolze and Jacob Bell.

Dakota Valley Invitational:

It’s always nice to win but most of the meet we looked like we had Prom on Saturday night. We had some really outstanding performances by our younger guys.  Tyler Heitman set a class record in the long jump and Adam Bobier tied the class record in the high jump. Brandon Stolze and Ryan Hernandez ran very well. Ryan tweaked a groin so we are concerned about that heading into the Conference and District Meets.  Jacob Bell ran very well considering the little sleep Seniors/Juniors get over the weekend. We had some other younger guys break into the team scoring. Robbie Klassen 2nd in the 1600. Luis DeAnda and Sergio Guerrero in the 3200 and our 4x800 relay Klassen, Guerrero Corey Kramper and Nathan Vajgrt.  Our Conference looks very tough again with Ralston Beatrice Omaha Gross all winning Invitational meets this spring. Going to North Platte for the District meet will be a real challenge.

South Sioux City Invitational Complete Boys Results (Adobe PDF)
Great meet; really impressive performances. The SSC Invite gave our kids a chance to see some good Class A athletes. The same type of athletes we will see at the Conference and District Meets. B.J. Lawrence’s 10.4 is the fastest in the State this year. Jordan’s jumps rank 2nd and 3rd. It was nice to have Jordan get the school record in the triple jump. He has been chasing that for three years. Overall we had some very good improvement in times and distances. It’s tough to judge by the places. Jacob Bell continues to show improvement in his speed and endurance for 200 and 400. Ryan Hernandez had an 11.1 and 22.6 in the prelims. It was the first time Ryan has run prelims and finals so it was a good experience for him. Adam Bobier , Tyler Hietman jumped very well with personal bests that won places. Mike Lethcoe continues to improve in the discus and appears recovered from the ankle injury. Brenner Pantoja is finally somewhat healthy and can train now for the 300 hurdles. It was a great night for track and field and the performances showed it. Athletic Director Kelly Flynn, Michelle and Ron Rapp, Lance Swanson and Suzie Rector worked really hard to put together a well run meet. It was fun for anyone who likes track and field and high school athletes.

Congratulations to these student/athletes at last Friday’s South Sioux City Invitational

We were please to be on the medal stand three times with our relays. We had good efforts but nothing that really stood out. We’ve got a lot of track and field left starting with our meet this Friday against some great teams.
