Martin grabs spot in 100 hurdles for M-P-B

The M-P-B Thunder track team traveled to Hazen Saturday, May 21, for the South Central Region Meet.

When all events were decided, the Thunder got one state qualifier who earned the right to run at the MDU Resources Community Bowl for the state track meet this past Thursday-Saturday.

Senior Ryleigh Martin finished in second place in the girls' 100-meter hurdles in a time of 17.53 seconds, in between race winner Haley Wolsky and third place finisher Isabel Wendel, both of CHS.

M-P-B had a pair of athletes who were just one place away from earning state berths.

Sawyer Wanzek, a junior, placed fourth in the boys' high jump at 5'8", while senior Abigail Reich had the identical placing in the girls' shot put with a 29' 8 1/2" heave.

The Thunder girls placed eighth in the team race with 25 points, while the boys finished 11th with 19.
