District Meet Results
State Qualifiers

Adam Bobier 1st High Jump 6’0
Ryan Hernandez 3rd  100 meters 11.1  6th 200 22.9
Tyler Heitman 3rd in triple jump 42-9.75  4th in long jump 20’8.5
Tyler Hoch 6th 100 11.2 5th 200 22.8.
4x100 Relay 6th 44.27  Tyler Heitman, Brandon Stolze, Tyler Hoch, Ryan Hernandez

     The District was certainly the best meet we have been at in quite awhile. The events we were strong in were the events that the District was especially strong in.  We thought we did what we could do. Our sprint relay did not run as well as we had hope but the five teams that beat us had a lot to do with our finish.  It’s a long trip to Grand Island and anytime you disrupt the school day routine it can cause problems.
     It was nice to see Adam start to get back in the high jump. Hopefully his knee is fully recovered for his senior year. Ryan Hernandez will get to focus on just the 100 meters and Tyler will get to jump both days. The events at State are even more competitive but we think our kids have a good chance to get in the medals.

City 9th grade Meet
     The good news is that over half of our team is in the Top 10% of the class; the bad news is the City Meet was re-scheduled for the night of the Top 10% Banquet.  Fortunately we did have some kids that could compete in the field events and 100 meters before the banquet.

Breckin Anderson 7th High Jump 4-6 100 meters 13.4 Long Jump 15-0
Seth Bernstrauch 100 meters 13.5 Long Jump 14-11
Rhett Merchant Long Jump 14-2

River Cities Conference Meet:
     The Conference meet was our 3rd meet in three days so most of our younger kids did not compete. I think the Conference AD’s were determined to have a meet on a nice day after we have been rained or snowed out for the past three weeks! It was a nice sunburn day and we had some good performances.
     Again it was the sprints and jumps with Ryan Hernandez 1st in 100 -Tyler Hoch 3rd in 100 2nd in 200  and Tyler Heitman 3rd in Long Jump and 2nd in Triple jump leading the way. These guys plus Brandon Stolze won the 4x100 in a season best 44.0. We beat a couple of good teams from Beatrice and Ralston so we have a chance in the Class A District meet to qualify for the State Meet. Robbie Klassen Mike Munson and Brandon also got us places as well.

Dakota Valley Meet:
    
We were glad to have a meet in sunshine and warm weather! We had some good marks especially in the 100 Meters with Ryan and Tyler both running under 11.0 hand held. Tyler Heitman continues to jump well. We have some foot fouls that have kept him from recording big jumps. Robbie Klassen broke his toe at Prom but still ran a decent mile…but that had to hurt. Adam Bobier and Logan Bell continue to improve in their events. Sean Dowdle is interested in trying as many events as he can.

Freshman & Sophomore Meet:
    
It was nice to get our 9th and 10th graders a meet. Cody O’Dell had his best jumps of the season and ran some nice legs on the relays. Zach Mahon pr’d in the mile and I think he has been pleased with his progress. Rhett Merchant is about as versatile as an athlete as we have. He long jumped, ran the hurdles and the mile. James Goodier got over the high hurdles and we hope will continue to make progress. Kyle Hanish and Justin Heitman are good competitive relay runners.
     Tyler Nelson and Kodi Rippe continue to improve in their first year around the track. Our throwers Riley Palsma Dan Gerkin Bobbie Johnson and Luke Jensen are all throwing about the same distances and will improve if we don’t run out of time. John Ngo Brandon Vandepol and Breckin Anderson all seem to enjoy the competition and will also improve with more experience
