The Minnewaska Lakers girls track and field finished as one of the best teams in the Class A true team state meet on Saturday in Stillwater as they placed fourth.
The Lakers scored 459.5 meet points.
“Overall, it’s where we expected to be,” Minnewaska girls head coach Jennifer Johnsrud told the West Central Tribune’s Joe Brown. “We were hoping for top three, which we got very close to.”
The Lakers had a win from McKenzie Luetmer in the 400m (59.14).
“Her senior leadership has just been remarkable all season,” Johnsrud said of Luetmer to the West Central Tribune. “She’s stepped up to the plate. She has a lot of experience in state meets, which is really helpful for us.”
