Holt County Schools Earn Five Golds At Norfolk Classic

Competitors couldn't have asked for a much better day than Thursday to compete at the Northeast Nebraska Track and Field Classic at Norfolk High School. The sun popped out and the wind died down, allowing the athletes to show their best in the all-class meet.

One of the top performers from the Holt County schools was Mikayla Marvin of O'Neill. She took gold in the pole vault with a mark of 11-00.00. Another Eagle, Caleigh Miles, also performed well in the pole vault, posting a mark of 9-06.00 to take third. 

Another O'Neill competitor took gold on the day, this time on the boys side. Nathaniel Jennings took the top spot in the 800 meter run with a time of 2:00.77, just shy of the meet record of 1:59.18. Jason Hahlbeck also took gold, finishing first in the discus with a throw of 153-07.

Another top finisher from the county came from West Holt's 4x800 meter relay team of Breydon Mlady, Brandon Heller, Payton Williams and Jordan Tasler. The quartet edged out Crofton with a time of 8:33.12 to take gold.

Harlee Fischer of Stuart rounded out the Holt County champions. She took first in the 400 meter dash with a time of 59.05.
