The best part about the Waseca Invitational, according to NRHEG track and field coach Duey Ferber, is that it gives the Panthers a chance to see competition they otherwise would not.
The worst part, this year anyway, is that it was the third meet of the week for many of the NRHEG girls, who finished third among six teams at Waseca Thursday, May 18.
Waseca won with 155.9 points, followed by Austin at 145.2. NRHEG 72.7, New Ulm 79, WEM 63 and Blue Earth Area 57.2

The Panthers completed a two- win week Friday with a 21-3, four- inning triumph over Kenyon- Wanamingo. The lone blemish for the week was a 2-1 loss to United South Central in which the Panthers committed five errors to the Rebels' one.
There were plenty of hitting heroes at Kasson, where the Panthers plated 10 runs in the top of the first inning and nine in the second.
