Just eight days after breaking the Osakis school record in the shot put (42-05.50) at the Prairie Conference meet, Osakis senior Kiley Kranz once again set a new standard for Osakis in the shot put.
In Thursday’s sub-section meet in Barnesville, she set a new school record in the event with a throw of 42-11.00.
“She is having one heck of a year,” Osakis head coach Lee VanNyhuis said.
She also won the discus event with a throw of 112-05.
Her wins headline a group of Silverstreaks that have advanced to the Section 6A meet in Pelican Rapids on June 2, 2023.

There are two sub-section meets and the top six finishes from each sub-section and the next best four scores/times make it to the section meet.
Osakis was one of the better teams at the meet, finishing tied for third on the girls side at 92 points, while boys took third with 95 points.
Barnesville scored 141 points to win the girls meet, while Pelican Rapids won the boys meet with 147 points.
Along with Kranz’s wins, the Osakis girls had wins from Kaia Fiskness in the 400m (1:01.33).
In the 4x200m relay Fiskness, Addison Roering, Kaelyn Walker, and Kiana Kendall won with a time of 1:48.84, while the team of Bella Weisser, Ally Boyer, Roering and Fiskness won the 4x400m with a time of 4:15.68.
“Even though some of them are still young,” VanNyhuis said “Most of these kids have experience at big meets and seemed to handle the pressure well. Getting all of the relays through sections is always something we try to do. We have a lot of pride in having good relays, so we always try to make them as strong as possible. I thought the chemistry was good, the handoffs were solid and the kids competed.”
On the boys side, Osakis’ Stewart Jones won the 110m hurdles (16.04) and the 300m hurdles (41.48).
This was one of the many strong showings by a Silverstreak, which includes four top-three finishes by foreign exchange student, Duncan Tronicke.

“I can't say enough good things about Duncan,” VanNyhuis said. “He's been such a great addition to our team. He always has a good attitude and has embraced our team culture. We have used him in a lot of areas, which has helped the team out a ton. He had a great day triple jumping, and did a nice job anchoring our sprint relays.”
Lucea Wales led the way for the Ashby-Brandon-Evansville girls with wins in the 200m (26.62) and the 300m hurdles (47.79).
The A-B-E girls had other top-end finishes and took sixth with 55 points.
The A-B-E boys had 35 points and took ninth in their meet. Their top finish came in the 100m dash, with Alessio Schott finishing second (12.04).
The Parkers Prairie boys had a strong day, finishing second as a team with 112 points. Among the top-finishes were wins by James Suchy in the 3200m (10:47.71) and Dominic Reiman in the triple jump (41-03.00).
The Parkers Prairie girls scored 20 meet points and finished ninth. Sarah Toyli finished 4th in the 300m hurdles (52.33) and seventh in the long jump (15-08.00), while Alicia Penrose finished seventh in the discus (16-02.00).
