The Chanticleer track teams competed in the annual Broken Bow Invitational this past Friday and had a good day despite not scoring a lot of points. “I thought our kids really competed well in the meet, we just did not score a lot of points because it is such a strong meet”, Coach Derry Trampe stated. “We had a lot of personal and season best performances but it was hard to pick up any medals.” In the team race the girls tied for 9th place in the 10-team meet. The girls scored 22 points in the meet to tie with Alliance for 9th place. McCook won the meet with 75.5 points while O’Neill was second with 68 points. Rounding out the team scoring were Kearney Catholic (67), Cozad (62), Gothenburg (60), Scottsbluff (51), Broken Bow (49.5), and Holdrege (49).
The boys scored 27 points to finish 7th in the field of 10 teams. McCook ran away with the team title with 143 points while Kearney Catholic was a distant second with 90 points. Rounding out the team scoring were: Scottsbluff (83), Holdrege (46), Gothenburg (42), Alliance (38), Cozad (25), O’Neill (22), and Broken Bow (11).
The girls brought home two silver medals from the meet with the 3200-meter relay and Payton Hackel. Hackel finished second in the 100-meter high hurdles in a time of 17.12 in her first meet of the season. “It was nice to have Payton back for at least one race in this meet”, Coach Trampe said. “She is coming off an injury and we are going to work her back into competition slowly and make sure we can keep her healthy for the rest of the season.” The 4X800 relay team of Kloe Severance, Delaney Cargill, Macy Warner, and Abbi Stethem finished second in a time of 11:06.67. “I was really happy for the relay team because they have really been working hard all season and their times are starting to come down”, Trampe said. Kloe Severance added a 4th place finish in the 1600-meter run with a season best time of 5:52.26. Cierra Vanosdall and Kailey Bruha added sixth place medals for the team. Vanosdall earned her medal in the 100-meter high hurdles with a personal best time of 18.28. Bruha recorded a season-best performance in the pole vault with a vault of 8’ 8” to earn her medal.
The 4X800 relay team of Colton Rowse, Zach Smith, Johnny DeRiso, and Tyson Skinner finished second to record the highest finish of the day for the Chants. The team recorded a season-best time of 8:58.73 to earn their medal. “I am really happy with the kids on this relay” Trampe said. “They continue to get better every week because they really work hard in practice.” Third place medals were won by Colton Rowse in the 3200-meter run and the 4X400 relay team of Jaden Reilly, Colton Rowse, Tyson Skinner, and Riley Warner. Rowse recorded a time of 11:03.54 and the relay team turned a season-best performance of 3:42.24 for their medal. Clayton Thomsen added a 4th place medal in the 300-meter IH in a time of 45.51.
