Track athletes
spread wings at Early Bird meet
By MIKE SMITH
Capital Journal
Staff
Pierre track athletes had a successful outdoor debut at the
annual Early Bird Meet Tuesday at Trautner-Hollister
Field.
The Govs had 10 individual champions in the four-team
meet along with two firsts in relay races. The Lady Govs had nine
individual first places and swept the four relay races.
“We
had countless personal best records,” said boys’ coach Geoff Gross.
“Every week we give out certificates for personal bests. It will be
fun to hand these
out because it means people are improving and seeing the benefits of
their work.”
Multiple winners for the Govs included Quincy
Christie in the 400-meter dash and long jump; Matt Tetzlaff in both
hurdle races and Mike Zellmer in the shot and discus.
“Mike
really sticks out,” said Gross. “He had a personal record in the
shot put (48 feet, 1 inch, the best by a Gov thrower in six
years).”
Christie went 21-4 in the long jump, only four
inches off his mark that won at state. His winning time in the 200
was 51.87 seconds.
“That was a nice time, even though he
wasn’t challenged,” said Gross. “Michael Tveidt also had a nice time
(third at :55.57) for the first time he stepped on the track.”
Tane Owens won the pole vault with a leap of 11 feet, six
inches, a half-foot better than his best jump in 2004. Tyler
Peterson also improved by six inches in placing second in the
high-jump.
“To improve by six inches is almost unheard of,”
said Gross.
Matt Bump won the 1,600-meter race, Alec
Anderson the 800-meter run and Alex Helbig the 100-meter dash.
“Matt has put in a lot of miles and it will be exciting to
see how he improves,” said Gross. “We have some great distance
runners in Anderson, Travis Fitzke and Robert Nagle.”
Lady
Govs coach Craig Ullmann also will be busy printing and passing out
the personal best certificates this week.
“We did
exceptionally, considering the wind,” he said. “But in South Dakota,
the wind blows, so you must get used to it.”
One of the stars
of Tuesday was eighth-grader Yutzil Ayala. She won the 100-meter
dash, the long jump and was a member of two winning relay
teams.
“She was first in all her events,” said Ullmann. “She
is doing the things we were looking for when we brought her
up.”
Freshman Katie Buhler won both the 1,600- and
3,200-meter runs. Junior Torri Ice was first in the high and triple
jumps.
“Torri had her personal best in the triple jump
(33-feet, 11 inches) and it was third best on the school list,” said
Ullmann. “Katie is a gutty little runner.”
Ariana Hunt was on
three winning relay teams and was second in the high jump.
In
the field events, Kris Schaffer became the second Lady Gov to ever
clear 40 feet in the shot put. Schaffer’s throw of 40 feet, 1/2 inch
gets her closer to record holder Mary Morris’ 40 feet, 6 inches set
nine years ago.
Polly Gill won the discus with a personal
best throw and was second to Schaffer in the shot put. Amy Brandner
won the 800-meter run and was a member of two winning relay teams.
Sierra Moeller took first in the 400-meter dash and was on a the
winning 800-meter relay team. Ariana Hunt was also a member of two
winning relay teams and was second in the high jump.
Molly
Wulf cleared a career high 7 feet, 6 inches to take second in the
pole vault.
The Govs and Lady Govs will have a bonus meet
Friday when they compete in a six-team meet in Huron. The meet will
begin at 4 p.m.
