“It was a very nice meet by the Panther girls tonight,” said coach Duey Ferber. “It was a total team effort. The kids like the relay meet because everybody contributes and is one big team.”

The girls captured first place in seven events: 3x1600 (Crystal Olson, Shantaya Olson, Katharine Lewer); sprint medley (Abby Crabtree, Aubrey Schlinger, Carlie Wagner, Danielle Krueger); 4x100 (Crabtree, Hailey Schuller, Gretchen Ramaker, Raelin Schue); pole vault (Emmy Hobbs, Crabtree, Lewer); long jump (Schuller, Ramaker, Katie Cole); short sprint medley (Schue, Schlinger, Wagner, Krueger); high jump (Wagner, Paige Bolduan, Abby Wacholz).
