BLOOMER — The Elk Mound track and field squads have encountered some deep and talented teams when competing in Bloomer this season and last Tuesday was no different.

The Mounder boys finished in eighth place with 39 points in the 13-team meet held April 30 at Bloomer High School. Meanwhile the EM girls’ squad placed tenth after scoring just 18 points. Medford won both the boys’ and girls’ team titles with host Bloomer coming in second for the ladies and Northwestern was the boys’ runner-up.

Elk Mound’s lone victory in the meet was turned in by Galen Young following his vault of 13’ in the boys’ pole vault.

The boys’ 4×200 meter relay team of Rian Flynn, Brady Redwine, Dominic Hall and Luke Hanson placed third in a time of 1:40.39

The Mounder boys also had several fourth place finishes which included Rian Flynn in the 100 meter dash with a time of :11.88, Alex Johnson in the 110 meter hurdles with a time of :18.94, and the 4×100 meter relay team with a time of :47.64 which was comprised of Rian Flynn, Brady Redwine, Dominic Hall and Spencer Wolf.

Marquis Kasakaitas had a good evening as he finished in fifth place in the 400 meter dash with a time of :57.86 and in sixth place in the discus with a distance of 110’09”.
