The Becker Bulldog boys and girls track teams competed in a “last chance meet” Tuesday at home against Zimmerman and Little Falls.  It is called “last chance meet” because it is the last chance for the athletes to compete before sections next week.

 

Head Coach Trish Reimer-Kealy ran her athletes in a variety of different events while letting them choose a few that they wanted to try.  

 

Sam Angell won the 100M hurdles in a time of 16.92, with Miranda O'Brien in fourth (18.51).

 

Angell also won the 300M hurdles in 50.57 and O'Brien was fifth in 54.81.

 

In the 100M, Kayden Westin placed third (14.30) and she also placed fourth in the 200M (29.08).

 

The 400 meters was won by Payton Anderson in 65.22 with Alli Hendrickson in third, timed at 67.57.

In the long jump, Youngdahl captured sixth at 14'4" and Miranda O'Brien took eighth at 14'1".

The boys track team finished its regular season with a win Tuesday. The Bulldogs scored 80 points with Little Falls scoring 63 and Zimmerman third with 36.  

 

All four relay teams for the boys took first place while running with some different lineups. A few  of the guys decided to do different events in this last meet and “that is what is kind of fun about this competition,” said Head Coach Paul Schmidt.  

 

Dillon Radunz had his season best shot put at 54'8.5".  

 

“That puts Radunz in good position for the upcoming section meet,” said Schmidt.  

 

Radunz also had a good throw for discus at 139'1.5".

 

Dawson Thom threw 40'7" in the shot put and Logan Lahr had a throw of 39'4".  Thom and Lahr had disc throws in the 115' range as well.

 

Sam Ricker continued to improve his mile time running a 4:43.88 and Jacob Drury cleared 5'8" in the high jump to win that event.  

 

Matt Davalos continues to run well in the 300M hurdles, winning that event with a time of 43.28.  Andrew Davalos and Ricker were neck-and-neck in the 800M finishing second and third with times of 2:13.08 and 2:13.11.

 

The boys’ 200M was a fun race to watch as Becker went 1-2-3 in that event.  Kevin Andres was first with a time of 23.54, followed by Andrew Davalos with a second place time of 24.63 and Alex Meidt was third at 24.82.

 

The boys’ 100M also went 1-2-3, with Sidney Boros winning the event at 11.73, Meidt was second at 12.01 and Beau Pauly third at 12.02.

 

Keith Sorenson won the 3200M with a time of 11:05.

 

“The next week is tapering our workouts and refining our skills and hopefully having a great showing in sections to get some kids down to the state tournament,” said Schmidt.

 

Section preliminaries are Wednesday at Sauk Rapids Rice and finals are Saturday at Alexandria.
