Friday saw many student-athletes from Northcentral Wisconsin bring home the hardware at the State Track and Field Championships in La Crosse.
Champions include Kyle Schueller of Edgar, Darren Hudziak, and Jena Heidman of Edgar. Top finishers as well as a plethora of other standouts took part in the D2 and D3 portion of Friday's meet.
In D1 Wausau West's 3200M Relay broke a school record en route to a 3rd place finish. Paige Day of D.C. Everest palced third in the discus. Many other local kids shined in the track prelims. Click the video link for more.
Saturday was all about the Edgar Wildcats. The girls racked up a total of 110 point to claim their third straight track and field championship. The girls were headlined by Tessa Thurs, who claimed four gold medals.
For the Edgar boys, it took the final event of the day and an appeal to claim their first state title. Marathon initially captured the championship after placing 7th in the 4x400 meter relay. However, one of their handoffs was deemed illegal by officials, and the relay team was disqualified, giving Edgar the edge by just 1.5 points.
