The meet is set up very differently as no places are rewarded, yet every athlete competes in four events to score as many possible points for the team and individually.  

 

Each race, throw and jump is given a time or distance and then it is converted to a score from 100 points all the way to 1200.  Athletes finish their event and then record their times on a sheet and find the corresponding point total from conversion sheets at their event.  When the athlete has finished four events they turn in their sheets which are totaled and scored.   

 

The top 20 athletes’ scores are recorded as a team score and the first place team is awarded a trophy.  Then the top 15 individuals for boys and girls are awarded medals.  

 

“It is a fun meet to compete in and something different for the athletes,” said boys Head Coach Paul Schmidt.

 

 

The boys’ top athletes were Andrew Davalos, who scored 2,956 points and Mason Olson, who scored 2,721 points.

 

Davalos ran the 400 in 53.85 seconds and Luke Lahr ran the 1600 in 4:56.24.  Jonathan Novak had a good performance in the 800 with a 2:17 time. The 4x400 relay team won their event with a time of 3:50.  Members of the 4x400 team included Andrew and Mathew Davalos, Kevin Andres and Jaylin Hildebrandt.

 

Kreston Gammon and Olson both threw the disc over 125 feet and Gammon continues to throw consistently at the 45 foot range for shot put.

 

The boys finished third out of four teams.

 

Since the Quadathalon began several years ago, the top score of any boy athlete is 4,206, recorded by Jordan Griffith of Zimmerman this past Tuesday.

 

Becker’s Jake Campbell has scored the best for the boys all time with 4,114 points in 2008.

Campbell sits in third place all time.
