The Caledonia/Spring Grove boys swept the first five places in the 100-meter dash at the Cinco de Mayo Meet, hosted by La Crescent-Hokah on May 5. Josh Beardmore won two individual events and ran on the wining 4×100-meter relay. Tysen Grinde won two events along with a third place while Fischer Wait claimed one win and another runner-up finish. That made six winning efforts for the meet, which was not scored for team points. Competing were five teams: host La Crescent-Hokah, Cal/SG, Winona Cotter, La Crosse Logan and Grand Meadow/LeRoy-Ostrander/Kingsland/Southland. The Warrior girls had a pair of third-place finishes.
