BATTLE CREEK — In early April, the Battle Creek Invite is a test for Wolfpack athletes since many of the schools competing there are larger in size.
Still, the Wolfpack (competing with just 11 athletes) were competitive and produced several multiple-winning efforts.
Senior Kayton Zwingman led the way, placing third in both the 300 meter hurdles and 400 meter dash. She also was part of the 400 meter relay team which finished seventh. Other relay team members were Reese Stuhr, Anna Dworak and Gentry Zwingman.
Evin Pelster brought home two medals, placing fourth in the 800 meter run and fifth in the long jump with a personal best effort of 19’11.5”.
Other top efforts for the Wolfpack were turned in by Ethan Hansen (fourth in the 400 meter dash) and Max Henn who placed eighth in the shot put.
Battle Creek won the boys team title scoring 156 points followed by Elkhorn Valley 102, O’Neill 88, Norfolk Catholic 59, Stanton 55, Summerland 23, Winside 14, LHNE 11, EPPJ 10 and Randolph 6.
On the girls side, Elkhorn Valley won the team race with 111 points followed by Battle Creek 98, O’Neill 76, Norfolk Catholic 70, Winside 43, LHNE 42, Stanton 36, Madison 14, EPPJ 12, Summerland 12 and Randolph 10.
