NCC Meet

The Lions competed in the North Central Conference track meet last week and finished eighth in the pack with 23 points.

Clear Lake’s best event, the shuttle hurdle relay, performed well enough for second place, but was disqualified on a call of jumping the line.

The 4x200 relay was fourth in a time of 1:57.54.  That relay included Mixdorf, Archer, Sharrell Lee and Gabi Gonzalez.  The distance medley team of Olivia Amos, Kaylee Nosbisch, Tali Tesar and Riley Cooney was sixth in 5:17.54.

The 4x400 team of Bella Parker, Sky Toyne, Mixdorf and Cooney ran their best time of the season, 4:40.50, but did not finish in the points.

Humboldt captured the NCC title with 181.33 points, edging Algona with 158.33.
