Goessel track team competes
The Goessel Bluebird boys track team scored a top half finish, and the girls nearly did in the tough 14-team Heart of America track meet in the steady cold drizzle last Friday at Inman.
Jeremy Voth claimed a league high hurdle championship, followed by sophomore Ben Goering's outstanding second place in pole vault at 12'0".
Third place medals went to Daniel Silbereisen in the 1600-meter run and Jeremy Voth in the 300-meter hurdles.
The Goessel girls' top placer was Melinda Stucky with second in high jump at 5'0". The 4x400-meter relay came in fourth and the 4x100-meter relay fifth.
"We pulled together to make some good things happen, in spite of being dripping wet," said Goessel coach Brian Stucky.
"A lot of the top three finishers in our league are going to be at state, I guarantee you, so there's no shame in a fifth or sixth place today," he said.
The Bluebirds travel on Friday to the 1A Regional at Burlington.
