By winning three individual races and serving as one leg of a relay team that took first, Goessel freshman Brittney Hiebert helped the Bluebirds track team win the Canton-Galva track meet April 28 at the Bluebird track in Goessel.

Hiebert won the 400 meters, the 800, and 1,600, and also ran in the 4x400.
