GEORGE CALVERT INVITE AT MORRILL

Sidney girls' relay squad brings home win in Morrill

MORRILL – Led by a strong performance by its girls' 4x800 meter relay team, both Sidney High track teams finished in the middle of the pack at the George Calvert Invite at Morrill High School on Friday.

With the Raiders splitting their squad between Morrill and the Scottsbluff Twilight Invitational, the Raiders entered both meets short-handed. In Morrill, the Raiders boys scored 24 points to finish fifth among the 13 teams competing. The winner was Mitchell with 161 points while runner-up Bridgeport had 125.

The Sidney girls wound up in eighth place with 28 points as Mitchell (127) and Bridgeport (88.5) again took the top two spots.

The girls' 4x800-meter relay team was the star of the show as they scored the Raiders only event win of the day. With a team of four freshman – Charlie Brockhaus, Kara Birner, Chantal Riggs and Julia Evertson – the Raiders topped runner-up Bridgeport by more than four seconds.

Though the Raiders won comfortably in the end, Bridgeport tested anchor runner Evertson by running all out on the first lap of the final leg. After Brockhaus, Birner and Riggs had established a sizable lead, the Bulldogs' Dori Schneider pushed Evertson hard in the early going. Evertson, however, kept her cool and her steady pace to turn back the challenge as she pulled away down the final stretch.

Birner ran another 800 meters in the open event and medaled in sixth. Brockhaus was fourth in the 1,600 meters, while Riggs was sixth. The other placers on the girls squad included Brenda Maytorena, who was runner-up in the pole vault and Kristina Davis who scored a fifth place in the high jump.

The boys cause was helped by a personal-best effort by Jon Smith in the pole vault as he cleared 11 feet to earn third place. Smith equalled the height of the runner-up finisher, but lost out on the silver medal due to least number of misses. Smith also scored points in the 300-meter hurdles with a fifth-place finsih.

Ryan Aurich also secured a bronze medal with a strong effort in the two-mile run. Aurich showed he still had some spring in his step as he teamed with Brett Jaggers, Manjesh Mogallapalli and Jacob Schaub to finish second in the 4x800 relay.

The Raiders will reunite its team once again on Friday when they travel to Scottsbluff for the Western Conference meet at 12:30 p.m. For those who qualify, the Best of the West is on Tuesday at Scottsbluff at 4:30 p.m.
