A year ago at the state track and field meet, Chatfield’s girls 4x100 and 4x200 teams (Erin Kammer, Ashley Baker, Autum Erickson, Maddy Kammer) entered with high hopes of bringing home a state championship. Both squads came in ‘seeded’ first (best times) in both races, were right where they needed to be after the prelims (finished 1st and 2nd), only to finish 4th and 5th in the finals. It was a respectable showing (the 4x200 broke a school record) no doubt, one that added to the rich Chatfield girls relay tradition. But it was less than what was wanted. The girls were just bested by teams that ran better. Related to that, because she was a member of both teams, then freshman Maddy Kammer came in as the Section 1A 200-meter champion, only to not qualify for the 200-meter final. A couple factors likely played a part in how last season’s three events unfolded. The four Chatfield girls, per their inclusion on the two teams, ran four races in two days (something Chatfield’s main competition didn’t do). Kammer ran five races in two days. Given last season’s state meet took place in 90-degree temperatures, it wasn’t the best recipe for best success.
On the other hand, 2013 is a different year. Three of the same four Gopher girls (Kammer, Erickson, Baker), plus newcomer Mariah Bell, and ‘thrower’ Jayme LaPlante, had themselves a good state track and field meet. Their stew was of the very successful (tasty even) variety. Chatfield can boast a state champion team, an individual state champion, and a state runner-up. With the early June temperatures in the upper 60’s or low 70’s (fitting given how the spring went), none of the individuals had to sweat as much as a season ago either.
Kammer, Baker, Erickson, and Bell got their state relay championship. They won their qualifying heat (1:46.35), albeit it was the fifth best preliminary time overall. A pair of teams who bested the Gophers last season, Osakis (1:45.33) and Esko (1:45.89) had the best two prelim times. The Chatfield ladies were saving up. And like last season, both Osakis (2nd place, 1:45.18) and Esko (3rd place, 1:45.50) bettered their prelim times in the finals. They just didn’t improve as much as Chatfield. Kammer ran the last leg. She took the baton with her team in the lead, and wasn’t to be caught. Shaving over a second-and-a-half (1:44.79) off their qualifying time, running ‘their best race on the biggest stag .....
