The Bluebirds will participate Friday at the Heart of America League track meet in Moundridge.
Goessel has competed with Berean and Remington several times and hopes to be able to topple some of the bigger schools in the league.
"We had two phenomenal performances [May 1] by seniors Brett Goerzen and Garrett Hiebert," Goessel track coach Vanessa Schroeder said.
In pole vault, Brett Goerzen cleared the bar at 12 feet, 10 inches, and in triple jump, Hiebert sailed 44-6.
Hiebert's jump was three feet further than second place and Goerzen's clearance was eight inches higher that the nearest competitor.
As a team the Goessel boys came in second, just six points behind Rock Hill. The Goessel girls came in fifth among the 16 teams at Tescott.
