At Louplatte Track and Field Meet
The high school track and field teams hosted the Louplatte conference track and field meet on Friday, April 9 at Bussell Park. The home track must have given the Chants an advantage as they claimed the top spot in the girls’ team race while the boys finished as conference runner-up. “I though going in we had a chance to win the girls title and I knew our boys would be one of the top two teams”, Coach Derry Trampe said. “Our girls have done well all season, so I expected a lot of good things out of them today, but they exceeded my expectations in a lot of areas. It is always nice when you do better than you plan. Our boys also had a very good meet. St. Paul just has some fast kids, and they can score a lot of points in the short track races. That is where they were able to put some distance between us and them.” The Chanticleer girls scored 103 points to win the meet by 26 points over Wood River (77). Arcadia-Loup City was a very close third with 76 points. Rounding out the team scoring were: Doniphan-Trumbull (57), Central City (50), Centura (44), Ravenna (28), and Gibbon (26).
Like the girls, the boys also score 103 points on the day. St. Paul finished 29 points ahead of the Chants with 132 points. Centura was distant third with 66 points. Rounding out the team scoring were: Wood River (52), Gibbon (46), Central City (43), Ravenna (31), Doniphan Trumbull (28), and Arcadia-Loup City (26).
