Prairie du Chien track team competes at Richland Center

On a beautiful evening, the temperature at 81 degrees, the girls laced up their spikes and hit the track running. The will to win means nothing if you haven’t the will to prepare as Meg Katzung picked up 1st place wins in the 3200m (PR-13:32) and Pole Vault (8’0”) on the evening. Once they say set, I’m in beast mode as Madi Fisher pounded out PR’s in the 100m (3rd place), 200m (4th place), and 400m (5th place). My fastest time? I haven’t run it yet as Teagan Radloff hit PR’s in the Triple Jump with a 1st place (32’3.75) and 400m with a 2nd place (1:04.70) on the night. Running through life chasing my dream as Shayla Straka picked up PR’s in the Triple Jump with a 2nd Place (30’5.75”), and 7th in the Long Jump (13’10”). I hurdle the weak and pass the dead as Paige Schneider picked up 7th in the 100 Hurdles with a PR (20.92), 9th in the High Jump (4’0”) and 6th in the 300 Hurdles (59.73).

Makayla Gilberts and Tristin Gelo tied for 29th on the night in the Long Jump, Kate Olson hit a PR in the High Jump (9th place - 4’0”) and Eowyn Earle finished the night tied for 10th place in High Jump.

As the night continued to be perfect for a Track meet, the boys laced up and took to the Track as well.

Obstacles become opportunities when you see them as hurdles as Jeremiah Avery picked up a PR in 110 High Hurdles (21.44)and 6th place along with a PR in the 200m (28.42) and 16th place. Tough runs don’t last, tough runners do as Brogan Brewer picked up PR’s in the 100m (13.94), 200m (29.56), and the Pole Vault (7’0”). Versatility isn’t my name, it’s my game as Luke Kramer pounded out a PR in the 1600m (5:46.95) and a PR in the Pole Vault (7’0”) on the night. There is magic in misery, just ask a distance runner as Bryce Priebe ran for PR’s in both the 800m (2:39.35) and the 1600m (5:53.38) on the evening.
