MONDOVI — The Elk Mound boys’ and girls’ track and field teams were in Mondovi on Monday, May 6, to take part in the Mondovi Invite and managed to return with first and fifth-place finishes.

“Last night, I was greatly impressed with the effort with both boys and girls,” said head coach Johnathon Langreck.

The Mounder boys finished in first place ahead of Mondovi and Neillsville, who took second and third respectively, with 130 points while the Elk Mound girls copped fifth with 58 points. Bloomer took the ladies title and host Mondovi was the runner-up.

After finishing in second and third place in the 100 meter dash prelims, Rian Flynn and Brady Redwine turned around and finished in second and third respectively in the finals with times of :11.49 and :11.75.

Flynn and Redwine then competed in the 400 meter dash along with teammate Seth Hazen and took the top three positions. Flynn finished in first with a time of :52.40, Hazen finished in second with a time of :53.11 and Redwine finished in third with a time of :53.53.

“Weather conditions were not ideal for sprinters, but Hazen, Flynn and Redwine turned in some of the best times in the 400 on the season,” Langreck explained. “With their open times we can now really see where they fall in place for conference.”

In the long jump and discus throw Marquis Kasakaitas has improved each week and finished fifth in both events for Elk Mound, he finished with a distance of 17′ 7.5” in the long jump and a distance of 113′ 06” in the discus throw.

The boys’ 4×100 m, 4×200 m and 4×400 m relay teams all finished in second.

The girls relay teams also placed high with the 4×100 m and 4×400 m relay taking second, the 4×800 m squad was third and the 4×200 m team finished fourth.

Senior Alana Plaszcz finished in second place in the 800 meter run with a time of 2:36.68. Plaszcz was also part of the 4×800 meter relay team.

Victoria Fasbender captured third in the 3,200 m run in a time of 14:05.55 and Kennedy Pritchard came in fourth and sixth in the 100 and 200 meter dashes respectively.

The Elk Mound boys were looking for their fourth consecutive conference championship when they competed in yesterday’s (Tuesday, May 14) Dunn-St. Croix Track and Field Championships in Durand. The Mounder teams will then open the 2019 WIAA tournament series at Division 2 regional meet in Bloomer next Monday, May 20. The top four place winners in each event will advance to the sectional meet to be held Thursday, May 23 in Mosinee.
