With a sweep of the Watford City Rotary Track Meet on Friday, the Watford City varsity track teams capped off a very good week that saw the girls team take first and the boys team finish in third at Tioga on Tuesday.
“We saw most of the teams in our region at Tioga,” stated Dave Gumke, boys’ head coach. “We weren’t set up to score as many points as we are capable of because we changed a few things to break up the monotony of doing the same events and gave kids a chance at doing some different events.”
Stanley-Powers Lake won the Tioga meet with 123 points, while Parshall came in second with 115 points and Watford City finished in third with 97 points.
Placing in first for the boys team at Tioga was Tyler Bates in the 100 meter dash, while the boys 800 meter and 1,600 meter relay teams also garnered first place finishes.
In the girls division at Tioga, the Wolves had two individuals qualify for State with McKayla Haugeberg qualifying in the javelin with a throw of 123’9” and Asha Smith qualifying in the 3,200 meter run with a time of 12:02.53.
Other Watford City girls placing in first at Tioga were Lea Arndt in the 400 meter dash, Brianna Allex in the 100 meter hurdles, and the 3,200 meter relay team.
At the Rotary Track Meet on Friday, Watford City girls placing in first were Brianna Allex in the 300 meter hurdles, McKayla Haugeberg in the 100 meter dash, the pole vault and javelin, Asha Smith in the 800 meter and 1,600 meter runs, Lea Arndt in the 400 meter dash, Ricki Lindley in the 200 meter dash, Addison Sundeen in the 3,200 meter run, Kara Langerud in the triple jump, Hayley Moe in the high jump, as well as the 400 meter, 800 meter, 1,600 meter and 3,200 meter relay teams.
The boys team also had an equally impressive showing at the Watford City Rotary Track Meet with first place finishes from Dustin Kleppen in the 1,600 meter run, Cole Rolfsrud in the high jump, and the 3,200 meter relay team.
The next action for the Wolves will be at the Velva Invitational on Friday and at the Badlands Conference Meet in Bowman on Tuesday.
