LFC Girls Capture (First) True Team Crown

Last year, LFC’s girls track and field finished third to Lake City and D-E at the Section 1A True Team meet.  Two years ago, they finished second to Lake City. Three years ago, they finished fourth.  With a second, a third, and a fourth the past three years, a first just made sense.  Jared Pierce and staff saw their girls (866.5) slip past Lake City (848.5), D-E (844.5), RPH (810.5), who led until late, and Chatfield (743.5), to win the program’s first ever girls True Team title.  LFC made hay on the track.  They had three top relays: 4×400 (1st > Brielle Ruen, Kelly Ristau, Emma Breitsprecher, Leah Ruen), 4×800 (1st > Katie Prinsen, Malia Tessum, L-Ruen, Bailey Ruen), and 4×200 (3rd > Alida Burg, Olivia Willford, Emma B., Bailey R.)   Their two entrants in the 400 (Ashley Miner 5th, L-Ruen 7th), 800 (Prinsen 4th, B-Ruen 9th), 1,600 (Kiera Olson 3rd, Kaylee Arndt 4th), 3,200 (Olson 2nd, Arndt 3rd), and 300-hurdles (Emma B. 2nd, Ristau 7th) each finished top ten (30-plus/event).  In the 100 (Miner 2nd), 200 (Miner 1st), 3,200 (Olson), and 300-H (Emma B.), LFC had a top two finisher.  Pole Vault also pulled off the two-top-ten, top-two finisher-feat (Michaela Brazee 2nd, Miner 3rd).  Brazee added a fourth (Long Jump).  The 800, 200, 3,200, and 4×400 were the last four events.  Olson and Arndt put LFC ahead.  The 4×400 clinched it.  Ashley Agrimson (2nd H-Jump/L-Jump, 3rd T-Jump), Kjersta Hinz (1st 100, 3rd-tie H-Jump), Nicole Blagsvedt (1st Shot), Olivia Hoff (4th 100/300-H), Jordyn Holland (4th Shot, 5th Disc), and Kaitlyn Bieberdorf (4th T-Jump) led RPH.  The 4×100 (1st > Rylee Burnett, Macy Pederson, Megan Hopp, Mariah Bell), 4×200 (1st > Burnett, Pederson, Hopp, Kyra Dokken), Bell (4th 100, 5th 200), Joanna Salerno (5th 300-H), Dokken (4th 400), and Grace Friederichs (5th-tie P-Vault) led Chatfield.
