Because of the big trip to D.C., the NRHEG boys’ track and field team was a little low on numbers for its outdoor season opener.
The Panthers performed well but a lack of performers led to a fifth-place finish among six squads at Waseca last Thursday. The host team won with 191.5 points, followed by LCWM with 108, New Ulm 95, JWP 65, NRHEG 33 and WEM 26.5.
Keith Maxon was the Panthers’ top finisher, taking second in the discus with a throw of 129-8. He was sixth in the shot put at 38-10.
Other NRHEG places: John Cole, Karter Sletten, Tyler Raimann, Tyler Schlaak, third, 4x800, 10:03; Karter Sletten, Kiel Sletten, Nate Krause, Zach Mely, fourth, 4x200, 1:50.74; Schlaak, fifth, 800, 2:20.95; Kevin Kalis, fifth, discus, 115-4; Cole, fifth, 3200, 12:00.
“The kids ran well,” said coach Duey Ferber. “It was nice to get an outdoor meet in.”
The Panthers compete at United South Central Tuesday, April 16.
