Ricki Lindley definitely put other triple jumpers in North Dakota on notice that she is at the top of her game. During the Charlie Denton Relays in Bismarck on Friday, the Watford City High School senior set a new meet record in the triple jump with a leap of 37’3.5”.
In addition to Lindley’s first place finishes in the triple jump and long jump, the Watford City varsity girls team took third place behind Class A Bismarck Century and Bismarck High.
Also placing first in Bismarck for the Watford City girls team was Asha Smith in the 800 meter run, Kayla Ogle in the 3,200 meter run, and Mikka Hauberg in the pole vault.
“I felt we did extremely well finishing third behind two Class A teams that will be vying for a State A championship at the end of the year,” stated Greg Brown, girls head coach. “Our athletes came out and proved that we can compete well when we push ourselves.”
The varsity boys team also had a good showing with a 14th place finish at the Charlie Denton Relays as Connor Dennis requalified for State in the 110 high hurdles.  
“Jackson Faller had an impressive showing in the discus,” stated Dave Gumke, boys head coach. “He had a personal best throw of 125’8”, which just missed getting him in to the finals by 3’9”.”
