Launch the media gallery 1 playerEvery year, Norfolk High School hosts the Norfolk Track Classic for schools in Northeast Nebraska. Competitors of this meet are chosen based on their best marks and times from meets during the season. There is only one final round for each event, so qualifying makes you a finalist.
The track classic was held on May 1st, at Norfolk Senior High Track and Field. Clarkson-Leigh was able to qualify six girls for the meet this year.
Clarkson Leigh had a strong showing at the classic against a lot of stiff competition. Sophomore Maizie Stoklasa won the Long Jump and set the meet record with a mark of 18’3. She also received second in the Triple Jump. Sophomore Reann Bruhn broke the Patriot record in the mile by running 5:42.37 and earning third place.
“Our 6 girls delivered an outstanding performance at the Norfolk Classic on Thursday May 1st. Competing against top-tier athletes from across the region, our team showed exceptional talent and determination. Our athletes rose to the challenge,” Head Coach Briana Wietfeld said. “They’ve worked hard this season so far, and it showed in every race and event. This is a great meet to be able to be a part of, and our girls showed up showing they earned the invite.”
Junior Ava Kasik said, “Us girls were excited to compete at the Classic because of the competition we would face. It was fun to see different track athletes from across the state compete, and it was an overall great experience."
