IHS Track and Field competes in Groton on April 26

Ipswich attended a high school track and field meet at Groton on Tuesday, April 26 and the Tiger boys were second only to Class A Milbank, which indeed won the girls' outcome, as well.

The Milbank boys outscored Ipswich 177 to 139 and also rolled up 110 girls' team points to stave off the runners-up from Aberdeen Central 110-97.5. (Ipswich finished fifth in those team standings with its 61 team points.)

Ty Kadlec again won the 100-meter dash in :11.07 as well as the 200-meter dash in :23.20 and added anchor legs of the winning 4x100 and 4x200 relays, in :44.3 and 1:34.3, respectively. The other runners in both events were Carson Gohl, Colby Sylte and Trevor Heinz, who added a 19-03.00 long jump win for good measure.

Carter Geditz also won the 110-meter hurdles in :16.4, while Zach Geditz won the discus spin at 144-08.

Ipswich was second in the 800-meter run, thanks to Maxwell Kulesa who was timed in 2:11.7. Tyler Hettich added a second in the high jump at 5-11.00. Ipswich was also second in the 4x800 relay in 8:59.6, ran by Ian Beyers, Turner Thorson, Trevor Beyers and Kulesa. The medley team also got second in 3:55.8 (Sylte, Trevor Beyers, Turner Thorson and Ian Beyers).

Madyson Gellhaus was second in the girls' 3200-meter run in 12:26.1, as was Marley Gythmiller in the 100-meter hurdles, who was clocked at :19.1.
