DURAND — The Glenwood City Track and Field teams had a successful outing at their first meet in two years with second place finishes for both the girls’ and boys’ teams.
The meet was held in Durand on Thursday, April 29th and pitted the Hilltoppers against host Durand as well as Elmwood/Plum City, and Mondovi, who won the meet with both their girls’ team and boys’ team.
Toppers’ head coach Carrie Blanchard remarked, “I am very proud of how the Track Team participated in their first meet. The weather was not our friend the first week of practice so we only had a couple good days to prepare in nice weather. I am excited to see the progress this team will make throughout the year.”
The Topper boys and girls combined for twelve first-place finishes.
For the girls, it was individual accolades for Marie Garcia who took first place in the 100 meter dash with a time of 13.44; Lexi Wannemacher who took first in the 300 meter hurdles with a time of 50.30; Bella Rassbach in the long jump with a distance of 15’ 11.5” and Yasmin Mendez who took top honors in both the shot put and discus. Mendez threw the shot 34’ 2” and the discus 97’.
The girls also placed first in three of the four relay events. The team of Maddie Booth, Brenna Schwartz, Hailey Hannah and Marie Garcia won the 4×100 relay in a time of 55.23. The same team also won the 4×200 relay in 2:05.41. Isabella Simmons, Kinzie Strong, Lexi Wannemacher and Bella Rassbach won the 4×400 relay with a time of 4:33.19.
