It was a great day for the Watford City varsity track on Friday as both the boys and girls teams ran away from the competition to win  the Watford City Invitational Track Meet.
“We had a good day at our home track and field meet as we placed in all 19 events,” stated Dave Gumke, Wolves’ boys head coach. “The guys are working very hard and are very coachable. It is a fun group to coach.”
The Watford City boys team amassed 234 points to outdistance second place Beulah, which finished the meet with 110 points.
Pacing the boys team with first place finishes was Brenden Leaming in the 400 meter dash, Raehs Puetz in the 800 meter run, Devin Schmitz in the 3,200 meter run, Bo Cook in the long jump and Jaryn Homiston in the discus.
The Watford City boys relay teams also swept the relay with winning times in the 400, 800, 1,600 and 3,200 meter relays.
In the varsity girls division, winning first place for the Wolves was Mikka Haugeberg in the 100 meter dash and the pole vault, Ricki Lindley in the 200 meter dash and triple jump, Kara Langerud in the 400 meter dash and long jump, Bridget Allex in the 100 meter hurdles, Lea Arndt in the 300 meter hurdles, and Nessa Mathews in the shot put.
The Watford City girls team also won the 400, 800, 1,600 and 3,200 meter relays.
“We are seeing some extremely fast times and distances for this time of the year,” stated Greg Brown, Wolves’ head girls coach. “I am excited for how our team has been competing, and hopefully that will help us as we make our run for a region title, and into State.”
