After a delay forced by Mother Nature the Langford Area track squad opened its season at the National Guard Meet in Milbank on Thursday.
Coach Brian Schuring’s squad competed in the Orivlle Pfitzer Relays in Britton yesterday (Tuesday), travels to Warner on Thursday for a field event meet, and will compete in the Groton Relays on Tuesday.
“The Lions were limited on athletes to be able to take to the Milbank meet but we participated and competed really well,” said Schuring. “This was our first track meet of the year and we are already seeing some great things.”
Medal winners were Skyler Godel, third in the 300 hurdles and fifth in the 100 dash; Johnny Behning was eighth in the 400 dash; and Bailey Dwight was first in the 100 dash, second in long jump, and fourth in the 400 dash.
Two athletes are listed in the first top 24 ranking of Class B athletes from around the state. The top 24 in each event at the end of the regular season advance to state competition. Dwight ranks 12th in the 100 dash and 14th in long jump, while Godel is in the 14th spot in the 300 hurdles.
