The NRHEG track and field teams saw their season end at the Section 2A meet at Mankato West High School Saturday, June 12.
The Panthers' best place was sixth, by Daniel Nydegger in the 800 meters, with a time of 2:10.65; and the girls' 4x800 relay team of Journey Utpadel, Quinn VanMaldeghem, Torri Vaale and Evelyn Nydegger. They clocked 10:55.65.
"It was a very warm day in Mankato," said coach Duey Ferber. "We saw a few personal records."
VanMaldeghem was eighth in the 3200 in 13:01.99 while the boys' 4x400 team took eighth in 3:46.2. The relay included Nik Petsinger, Sawyer Prigge, Max Seltun and Nydegger.
Prigge high-jumped 5-6 for ninth place. Jaxon Beck also cleared 5-6, but placed 10th because he had more misses. Also taking 10th were William Tuttle, 110 high hurdles, 17.92; and Seltun, 100, 12.3.
Other Panther placewinners: Natalie Johnson, 11th, 300 hurdles, 53.69; Vaale, 14th, 800, 6:18.07; and Kyra Spies, 15th, 100, 14.51.
"Overall, it was a good day," said Coach Ferber. "But we did not qualify anyone for the state meet."
The Panthers graduated four seniors, Max Selton, Caden Riewer, Brandon Howieson and Daniel Nydegger.
