Qualify 7 Athletes for State Meet
The Ord High School track and field teams hosted the C-6 district track meet this past Thursday at Bussell Park. In a very strong field of teams the Chanticleer girls finished 7th in the 10-team field while the boys finished 8th. “I thought that our kids really competed as hard as we could in the meet but we were just in a really loaded district meet”, Coach Derry Trampe commented. “I was pleased with the efforts of our kids because I thought we really gave everything we had unfortunately we did not qualify more kids for the state meet. We have a lot of young talented athletes that will be back next year and we will be a stronger team next season.” Arcadia-Loup City won a very close team race in the girls’ portion of the meet. The Rebels scored 94 points to edge Nebraska Christian (92.5). Burwell finished third in the team race with 70 points.
