Lane Hobrock Sets New School Record

St. Francis hosted their last home track meet of the year on Thursday, May 3rd.  The junior high track teams competed in a triangular meet with Oakley and Quinter.  The meet was run in two divisions only - boys and girls.  St. Francis won the boys division and Quinter the girls division.  Only four places were scored in the triangular meet.

St. Francis won 18 of the 34 events contested in the meet.  Nine local athletes won one or more individual events (excluding relays) in the track meet.  "The kids just keeping working to improve," said Coach Kechter.  "This has been a great group of kids to coach.  In many events, we have athletes that push each other to become better.  I am anxious to see how we fare next week in the NWKL meet."

Lane Hobrock lowered his existing school record in the 200 meter hurdles in the meet.  Lane ran 28.67 to better the existing record of 30.00 he set earlier this season.  Garrett Brunk also broke the old school record running 29.06 in the event to place second.
