NELIGH — While points were hard to come by at the Neligh-Oakdale Track Invite, Wolfpack sprinter Ethan Hansen had a big day.
Hansen set a new personal mark in the 100 meter dash. In the prelims, he won his heat with a time of 11.6 seconds. He went on to finish fourth in the event to go along with a third place effort in the 400 meter dash. He also ran a leg on the 1600 meter relay team which medaled.
Wolfpack senior Trey Rittscher dominated the shot put. He won the event with a toss of 47’1” which was more than two feet better than second place finisher, Wolfpack sophomore Max Henn.
Evin Pelster continued his string of strong showings in the long jump. The sophomore leaped 19’ to win the event.
On the girls side, EPPJ senior Kayton Zwingman finished second in the 300 meter intermediate hurdles, continuing to show she’s one of the best in this part of the state.
