IHS Track and Field competes at NSU

Ipswich had attended another indoor track and field meet at the Barnett Center in Aberdeen, the Wolves Invite on Tuesday, March 26. It featured a somewhat limited number of events and no team points were kept, but was still well-attended to say the least.

"There were over 1000 athletes entered in this meet," said IHS head coach Todd Thorson. "And the Tigers really had a good day."

How good? The Lady Tigers featured five first-place finishes and the boys, three. And Maxwell Geditz had a hand in all three boys' wins! He won the 400-meter dash in :54.41 and the high jump at 6-04. He was also the lead runner in the boys' winning 4x400 relay, followed by Dylan Owens, Riley Nehlich and Ben Kulesa in 3:48.44.

The IHS girls also won their version of the 4x400, clocked at 4:33.20 and powered by Tessa Kilber, Abby Grabowska, Bailey Hammrich and Taylor Maurer.

Those four individual firsts? Lily Gaston, a recent Aberdeen American News Athlete of the Week last week, won the triple-jump at 33-00.00. Aleah Steger also captured the 1,600-meter run in 5:43.13 and Maurer won the pole vault at 9-06.00. Kamryn Heinz also won the shot put competition with a 10.66 meters effort.
