GLENWOOD CITY — For the fourth consecutive meet, another Glenwood City track and field record fell.

But this time it wasn’t JJ Williams that turned the feat.

Hilltopper Haylie Hannah could not have picked a better time to put her name in the record book. The sophomore took advantage of the warm temperatures and bright blue sky that prevailed at the Dunn-St. Croix Conference track and field meet that Glenwood City hosted last Tuesday, May 17 to set a new standard in the pole vault.

Hannah made good on her attempt at nine feet and four inches to win the Dunn-St. Croix championship in the event. This eclipsed the 20-year old previous best that had been set by Tammy (Hoffman) Oberle in 2002.

The Lady Hilltoppers also got wins from seniors Bella Simmons in he 300 meter hurdles and Brenna Schwartz in the triple jump to finish second in the eight-team conference meet with 121 points.

Junior Brady Klatt was a double winner as he led the boys’ team to a third-place finish on its home track with a tally of  108 points.

Mondovi captured both the boys’ (140) and girls’ (159) team titles.

Haylie Hannah’s eye-popping performance in the pole vault, however, weren’t the only points she contributed to the Glenwood City girls bottom line. Hannah scored a second in the 100 meter high hurdles with a time of :18.22 as she cut a tenth of a second off her preliminary time. She added a pair of bronze (third-place) finishes in the 300 meter low hurdles and the 100 meter dash.

In her final D-SC competition, Bella Simmons hurdled her way to the gold in the 300 meter lows in a time of:50.30. She added a pair of third-place finishes in the 400 and 1,600 meters.

Fellow senior Brenna Schwartz capped her conference swan song with four place finishes including a 33’ 6” leap for a win in the triple jump. She added  seconds in the long jump and 200 meter dash and was fourth in the pole vault. 

All four of the girls’ relays earned points as the 4×400 and 4×100 both placed fourth while the 4×200 and 4×800 squads each took sixth.

Juniors Aria DeSmith and Brooklyn Caress finished third and sixth, respectively, in the shot put while classmate Maddie Booth was sixth in the long jump and took seventh in the 200 meters.

For the Glenwood City boys, Brady Klatt had a banner day as well picking up a pair of gold medals in the discus, on a throw of 148’ 7” to win by over 22 feet, and long jump (21’ 2”). He also scored a point in the 200 meter dash by taking eighth.

JJ Williams, who owns the boys’ school record in the 800, 1,600 and 3,200 meter runs, finished second in all three events last Tuesday. Durand senior Parker Schneider, who is the defending D3 state champion in both the 800 and 1,600 meters, took both events in Glenwood City as well as a 400 meter gold medal. In the 3,200 meters, Williams was beaten by fellow junior Ian Hazen of Elk Mound.

In his final races on the home track, senior Austin Nelson captured third in both the 400 and 800 meter runs and finished fifth in the 3,200 meters.

Juniors Nick Hierlmeier and Cody Hansen scored points for the Toppers in a pair of events. Hierlmeier finished fourth in the shot put and sixth in the discus while Hansen copped eighth-place showings in both the triple jump and 100 meter dash.

The boys’ 4×800 meter relay team of Anthony Nelson, Ilan and Elek Anderson and Connor Berends finished second. The 4×400 and 4x100m team came in fourth with the 4x200m taking sixth.

The Hilltoppers competed Monday, May 23 in the WIAA Division 3 Durand Regional. The top four place finishers in each event will advance to the sectional meet this Thursday in Colfax.
