Miners have another strong day in Rugby as they go Back to Back days.

The Miners went to Rugby on Friday April 25th for the Hanneman Memorial Meet and had a strong showing in the meet despite having a meet the day before. The Miners had 29 total PR's on the day and picked up a new state qualifier. The team also had some athletes pick up a new clothing option with this meet being a t-shirt meet. Athletes that place 1st in an event receive a t-shirt with the meet logo and event champ on the back.

For the Girls they had one event champ on the day in Addison Schepp in the 100m hurdles. They had four 2nd place finishes in Malayah Williams (shot put), Paige Sailer (Discus), Emaley Keller (Javelin), and Hannah McGraw (Pole Vault). The Girls did get placers in Tori Ziman (Discus), Braelyn Hottman (300m Hurdles), and Bailey Buchfinck (100m Hurdles). The Girls did have two relays place 5th on the day with the 4x200 and 4x400. Both relays saw a big improvement in time for the year. The Girls team took 5th out of 16 teams on the day and had 14 PR's on the day. The Girls showed a lot of resilience on day two and look to keep improving next week.

The Boys had one event champ as well with the 4x400 relay. Members of the team are Jonas Braun, Rhyse Unruh, Cooper Schepp, and Austin Mittlesteadt. They also had one 2nd place finish in the 4x200 relay. They got three 3rd place finishes as well in 4x100 relay, Austin Mittlesteadt (300m Hurdles), and Ray Lundstrom (Shot Put). The Boys had placers in Cooper Schepp (300m Hurdles and Triple Jump), Hudson Scheurer (300m Hurdles), and Anthony Hallet (Shot Put and Discus). This last placer may have only placed 5th but it might be the story of the day as the boys team picks up their first state qualifier in Austin Mittlesteadt in the long jump. Austin hit the mark of 20' 9" to punch his ticket to the state meet. The Boys did see improvement in the 3 relays they ran on Friday. The Boys had 15 PR's on the day and placed 7th out of 16 teams. The Boys showed a lot of grit and learned a lot on Friday. The team looks to put in some good work this week before the next meet.
