The girls attended the Syracuse Invitational on Friday, which was held at the Tecumseh track facility due to Syracuse being under construction for a new track.  The weather was a cold, windy, and cloudy day, being almost par for the course in Nebraska track meet weather this season.The girls placed 2nd behind Beatrice in a highly competitive field of athletes.  It was an interesting day in the scoring competition because Fairbury led the scoring events for the better part of the meet.  Norris finished ahead of Fairbury by  .75 of a point.Team scores are as follows:  Beatrice 104.25, NORRIS 95, Fairbury 94.25, Lincoln Christian 83, Crete 80.25, Syracuse 30.25,  Nebraska City 14, Wilbur-Clatonia 14, and Falls City 11Individual Places and Results:Long Jump:  Elie Ehmen 12'6", Kristina Price 14'2.5", and Krista Baade 13'11"Triple Jump:  Leah Burbach 32'3" and Kristina Price 30'8"High Jump:  Kinslie TeKolste 1st 4'10", Hannah Hoefler 4'6", and Felicia TeKolste DNMOShot Put:  Niki McKinstry 33'8.5" (made finals), Felicia TeKolste 32'11", and Tor Ziemke 28'9" PRDiscus:  Niki McKinstry 2nd PR 117'0", Felicia TeKolste 88'0", and Leah Harms 85'6"Pole Vault:  Natalie Nason 2nd NEW SCHOOL RECORD 9'0", Erin Bartlett, 7'0", and Anna Bizal 7'0"100m HH:  Gretchen Kroese 1st 15.3, Maddie Larson 18.5, and Janae Jurgena FS100m Dash:  Gretchen Kroese 12.93 5th Krista Baade 13.3, and Ellie Ehmam 13.8200m Dash:  Hannah Wolzen 28.6, Krista Baade 28.6, and Sierra Eason 29.3300 LH:   Gretchen Kroese 2nd 50.7, Makenna Tracy 6th PR 53.0, and Janae Jurgena 55.4400m Dash:  Ashley Weyers 1:07.4, Hannah Wolzen 1:07.3, and Kristina Price 1;10.4800m Run:  Annelise Madison 1st 2:27.9, Sophia Sonnenberg 5th 2:37.7, and Meradith Ganow 2:42.51600m Run:  Anneiise Madison 2nd 5:44.6, Sophia Sonnenberg  4th PR  5:53.6,  Meradith Ganow 6:00.53200m Run:  Annelise Madison 1st 12:38.11,  Chelsi Marolf PR 13:57.0, and Avery Pella 14:32.7Throwers Relay;  1st 1:00.7  Tori Ziemke, Payton Duffield, Leah Harms, and Felicia TeKolste400m Relay:  4th Krista Baade, Makenna Tracy, Janae Jurgena, and Gretchen Kroese1600m Relay 5th 4:32.1  Ashley Weyers, Kristina Price, Hannah Hoefler, and Hannah Wolzen3200m Relay:  2nd 10:20.0 (took 18 seconds off of their best time this sesason) Ashley Weyers, Sophia Sonnenberg, Meradith Ganow, and Annelise MadisonSenior Natalie Nason set a new school record in the pole vault with a 9'0" vault, breaking her pervious record in that event, we are hoping that she can add another 6 inches to that by seasons end.Annelise Madison and Gretchen Kroese both  had a good day competing, each of these two brought home 4 medals, and ran very good times in so doing.  Annelise ran her fastest times in all four events.Niki McKinstry threw her best in the discus and in the shot this season, her goal is to qualify for State by adding on several more feet in the discus.Our 3200m Relay team took off 18 seconds from what they had ran at Waverly the week before, of course it helped to have Meradith Ganow back who missed last week's meet due to FFA.  However, all of the girls ran improved times from the week before.The girls will be competing at York this coming Saturday, meet time 10:00.
