Edmunds County Tribune -

Ipswich would combine for a first-place boys' track and field outcome in the Eureka Lions Invitational last week on May 3.

The boys over-powered Timber Lake 116 to 99 for their crown and the girls indeed placed third in their division with 88.5 team points. (Potter County would roll up 98.5 team points followed by Miller with 90.)

As has been the case lately, Ipswich's Ty Kadlec would capture the 100-meter dash in :11.49 and Carson Gohl would be second there at :11.34. And Kadlec added a :22.88 200-meter dash victory for good measure. And to nobody's surprise Carter Geditz would claim yet another :15.79 110-meter hurdles victory and followed that with a :43:24 capture of the 300-meter hurdles.

Tyler Hettich was second at 5-10.00 in the high jump.

The Ipswich boys would use their depth to capture a trio of relay titles. They won the 4x100 baton event in :44. 9 ran by Trevor Beyers, Colby Sylte, Gohl and Kadlec. And they added a 4x200 sprint victory in 1:34.25. That one was ran by Gohl, Sylte, Turner Thorson and Kadlec. They displayed their versatility with a medley win in 3:55.10 and that one was powered by Sylte, Turner Thorson, Gohl and Maxwell Kulesa.

Meanwhile, one of the key IHS girls that day would be Marley Guthmiller, second in the pole vault at 8-06.00 and also second in the 300-meter hurdles, clocked at :50.17.

The Tiger girls were second in the 4x200 relay event, clocked at 1:57.53 ran by Brianna Geditz, Ashley Ptacek, Gabby Wald and Vanesa Diaz. They also finished second in the medley relay in 4:44.51 and those runners included Geditz, Diaz, Ptacek and Madisyn Gellhaus.
