“This meet was definitely an exciting one,” Mrs. Wietfeld said. “We were back and forth on the leaderboard on the girls’ side. Eventually, we came out on top with a tie for meet champions. Each and every person helped us earn this 1st place. Along with that title we had more records broken. Chloe Hanel broke 100 Hurdles and 300 Hurdles Patriot records and Emily Loseke broke her own Patriot 100M dash record again. We have some PRs on the boys and girls’ side. The boys also did a great job. Each meet our team gets stronger and faster. We have a good couple weeks coming up where we will start to peak.”
