The weather cooperated Monday night for the Decorah early bird meet, the Vikings first outdoor meet and South Winn’s second of the 2023 season.
Overall, Mason City loaded the buses with the team title with 146 points, one point ahead of the host, while South Winn finished the night with 19 points in seventh place.
A solid outing
“The coaching staff was very pleased with the efforts throughout the evening. The post team meeting had a load of hands raised when asked who had a personal best time, split or distance. It is always fun to witness that excitement. Also exciting was seeing seven names or events posting times or distances worthy of going on our top 15 all-time list,” said Decorah Coach Joel Rollinger. “We look for continued improvement as we head into the meat of the outdoor season. Another great job by our meet workers for running off a very efficient track and field meet. We are so appreciative of their time dedicated to our athletes.”
Decorah had three events come in first. Kaiden Quandahl bested the long jump field with a leap of 21 feet 2 inches. With a throw of 134 feet 9 inches, William Hahn was crowned the discus champion. One relay also came out on top. Tommy Sexton, Joshua Adam, Gavin Groux and Dakota Johnson posted a time of 1:05.37 to win gold in the shuttle hurdle relay.
Six events took second, including K. Quandahl in the high jump; Sexton in the discus; Ben Wymer in the 400-meter dash, Cade Olson in the 800-meter run; the sprint medley quartet of D. Johnson, B. Wymer, Brayden Hartl and Olson; and Olson, Landon Quandahl, Hartl and Tommy Hammel in the distance medley relay.
Gaining experience
South Winn also had a solid day with numerous top-10 finishes. Parker Timp was the runner-up in the shot put with a throw of 42 feet 2 inches and finishing 10th in the 200-meter dash. Keagen Streeter finished fourth in the discus at a distance of 117 feet 2 inches. With a leap up 18 feet 5.5 inches, Lukas Weiss took home seventh place in the long jump. Wrapping up the field events in the high jump, Kaden Barton-Franzen and Eric Greve took ninth and 10th places.
In the individual distance events, Abe Conway took seventh in the 1600-meter run in 5:23.34, with Hunter Wagner crossing the finish line ninth in 5:29.94. Nathan Davis was eighth in the 3200-meter event in 13:36.60.
Four relays were also in the top 10, including the 4×200 of Streeter, Nolan Sabelka, Weiss and Kaden Bullerman who took fifth in 1:40.43. Two quartets competed in the 4×800 with Brady Ohrt, Brody Tieskoetter, Brad Dahl and Conway finishing sixth, while Brennan Franzen, Wagner, Kyle Hageman and Max Moonen were ninth.
