It didn’t take long for the Wolves’ girls track team to begin their run for the State Track Meet as four Watford City girls, Asha Smith, Kayla Ogle, Mikka Haugeberg and Ricki Lindley qualified for State at the Roemmich Invitational on April 7.
Smith posted a time of 5:28.27 in the 1,600 meter run to qualify for State, while Ogle’s time of 12:01.44 earned her a trip to State in the 3,200 meter run. Haugeberg qualified in the pole vault with a leap of 10’, while Lindley qualified in the triple jump with a leap of 36’.
“We are seeing a lot of improvement as we moved to our first outdoor meet,” stated Greg Brown, Wolves’ girls head coach. “By hosting a small varsity and junior high meet together, all of our athletes got to compete in one day, and as coaches we got to see how our programs are moving forward. It was a great start to our outdoor season.”
While the boys varsity team didn’t have any state qualifiers in their first outdoor meet of the season, Dave Gumke, boys’ head coach, liked the way his team performed.
“We used this meet so that the junior high athletes could follow and learn how to warm up, check in, and prepare for their events from their varsity teammates,” stated Gumke. “Overall, the guys performed well, getting us off to a good start to the outdoor season.”
Connor Dennis, according to Gumke, ran well in his hurdle races getting close to qualifying, while Cole McGorman came close to qualifying in the high jump.
“On a good warm day both of these athletes will get these events qualified,” stated Gumke.
The Watford City varsity teams will be hosting a meet on Friday.
