Junior high athletes from O'Neill competed in the 2016 Nebraska Championship Meet in Gothenburg Saturday.

Students from both O'Neill Junior High and O'Neill St. Mary's had strong showings. A total of 11 competitors performed in the all-class meet. The event is a relatively new event, being only seven years old.

Of the top performers on the girls side, the 4x100 meter relay team from O'Neill was as impressive as any. The team of Blair Gutshall, Meg Schluns, Alyssa Eichelberger, and Taya Rainforth earned gold, besting 17 other teams with a time of 53.08.

On the boys side, Kolby Dean had the best individual performance for O'Neill, finishing sixth in the pole vault. Dean was also a member of the 4x400 meter relay team that broke the previous school record with a time of 3:56.04. Other members of the relay team were Turner Jussel, Michael Poese, and Juan Zapata.

If the performances Saturday were any indication, the future of track in Holt County is set to be an exciting one.
