EPPJ has multiple medal winners at H/LHF Invite

HUMPHREY — For the first day of May, it felt more like March as the Wolfpack track team competed at the H/LHF Invite.

Cool and breezy conditions affected the performances of athletes competing at Humphrey,

Points proved hard to come by for both the EPPJ boys and girls team.

Clarkson-Leigh claimed the girls team title with 124.5 point, runner-up was Elkhorn Valley with 114. EPPJ finished seventh out of nine teams with 38 points. In the boys team race, Riverside won with 133.5 points, edging out Elkhorn Valley who came in with 131. EPPJ finished in a tie for fourth with 61 points.

Among the standout performances for the Wolfpack were:

• Blake Henn continued his strong performance in the shot put ring. Once again he proved to be the best in the field, winning the event with a toss of 48’7”, just inches off the school record he set last week at Creighton.

• Freshman Samantha Stuhr placed in both the 1600 and 3200 meter runs.

• Mady Kurpgeweit cleared 4’8” to finish third in the high jump.

• Gemma Miller finished third in the discus with a throw of 95’9”, then took sixth in the shot put.

• Myles Kittelson took second in the 100 meter dash and, earlier, finished third in the long jump.

• Dylon Lueking finished fourth in both the 100 and 200 meter dash events. Also, he placed fifth in the discus.
