CADOTT – The Hilltopper track and field teams were able to add an extra meet to their schedule this past week when they headed to Cadott last Tuesday, May 11th.
“We were glad to add the meet on Tuesday,” remarked Topper head coach Carrie Blanchard. “It provided us the opportunity to go up against some other teams we will see if Regionals and Sectionals.”
The Hilltopper boys’ team took first place beating out Clear Lake, Bloomer, Cadott, Chippewa Valley Lightning Bolt, and Osseo-Fairchild. While the girls came in second against the same teams.
After three meets there are several individuals who are clearly dominating their events.
Yasmin Mendez once again took first place in both the shot put and discus. She threw 33 feet 5 inches in the shot put and 102 feet in the discus. Bella Rassbach took top honors again in the long jump with a distance of 15 feet 6.5 inches while Lexi Wannemacher again completed the 300m hurdles in the least amount of time in :49.60 seconds. All three girls are seniors.
For the boys, it was junior Austin Nelson blowing his competition away in the 400m with a winning time of 53.33.
Wannemacher and Nelson were also voted MVP in the running events at the meet.
