Patriot Girls’ Take Third At Conference Track
With a grand total of 15 teams and a Conference championship on the line, the East Husker Conference track meet is one of the biggest, most important meets the Patriots attend.
This year’s meet was held in Oakland-Craig on Saturday, April 27. Everyone competed well, and there was a ton of new competition to face.
The Patriot boys’ team finished 13th, and the girls placed 3rd! Overall, it was a successful meet!
The weather was really nice for the Patriots.
There were several girls that placed in the top three. There were also a few boys that finished in the top 10, although there was only one boy, Trey Steffensmeier in Long Jump, who finished in the top 6.
The girls’ team really dominated the jumps, with Maizie Stoklasa and Brynn Settje taking the 1st and 2nd place spots in both Triple Jump and Long Jump.
Sophomore Ava Kasik stated, "Overall, it was a very competitive and successful meet. It was a beautiful day, and we had many girls' place."
Assistant Coach Mrs. Brianne Bachman stated, “The conference track meet is always a competitive meet. This year the girls’ team finished in third (7 points behind 2nd). We had quite a few girls finish with multiple medals and a few new personal bests. The boys competed against some tough conference teams as well. It was a good day for the conference track meet and a nice warm-up to district track next week. The athletes are continuing to work hard and looking forward to putting up their best marks at the end of the season.”
Congratulations to all Patriot track athletes and good luck heading into districts!
