18 Panthers to shoot in state meet June 7-9

Putting together their best week of competition this year, the NRHEG Clay Target team took a total of 18 of 21 points to finish out the spring season.

The scores were strong from top to bottom with most of the shooters either matching or beating their season average. While it was not enough to erase the lead that the Brainerd team had, it was more than enough to solidify the team's runner-up position after passing Woodbury last week.

For week 5, the team was led by Kyle Bartz with a 47/50. This earned the team 5 of its 18 points, but the strength of a team comes in the averages for the top 50% of shooters and the total team average.

The NRHEG girls’ track and field team gave it a run but came up one place short of United South Central/Alden-Conger in the Gopher Conference meet at Medford Tuesday, May 14.

USC/AC won with 250.5 points. The Panthers had 203, followed by WEM with 142.5, Medford 79, Bethlehem Academy 63, Blooming Prairie 54 and JWP 16.

“The girls tried their best, but came up short against a very good USC/AC team,” said Panthers coach Duey Ferber.

Junior Carlie Wagner had a perfect day with four events, four firsts. She won the 100 meters in 13.01 seconds, the 200 in 27.54, the 400 in 1:02.44 and the high jump at 5-2.
