State Track Results
The Spartan Track Teams competed at Omaha
Burke Stadium May 18-19th. The teams faced
time delays due to automatic timing not working
on Friday and weather delays on Saturday. The
timing system not working properly caused a fin-
ish dilemma with 100 Hurdles involving Christo-
pher Paitz. Initially a run-off was determined be-
tween 6 runners to determine qualifiers for finals.
After a long review it was decided that a run-off
was not needed and thus Christopher did not
make the finals for Saturday. On Saturday the
weather kept threatening with thunderstorms
throughout the day and finally made an appear-
ance before the last event causing a rain delay.
The boys finally returned to the track around 5:30
to run the 1600 M. relay.
Kids that medaled in events were:
Colin Arehart: 4th; 800 M. Run, 2:02.43 (reco
5th, 1600 M. Run, 4:44.30 (record)
