The team victory went to Canby-Minneota Thursday at the Section 3A NW Sub-Section meet.
But more importantly, the team advanced most of their runners to the Section 3A meet at 4 p.m., Thursday May 30 at Luverne.
From there, top two winners in each category advance to the state meet.
The Canby-Minneota squad won the eight-team meet by seven points over second place Lac qui Parle Valley/Dawson-Boyd.
Among the winners for the C-M squad was Minneota Valedictorian Lizzy Gillingham. The recently named top graduate at Minneota won the 100-meter dash in :13.34. Gillingham also helped her 4x200-meter relay squad win the title in 1:51.72, which shattered their “seed” time coming into the meet. Others were RyAnn Hansen, Makenzie Hemish and Braelyn Merritt. She also was the second leg of the 4x400-meter relay that also won the title in 4:12.79, again faster than their previous time.
And Gillingham long jumped to second place behind her teammate RyAnn Hansen, who went 16-1 3/4 with Gillingham at 15-10 1/2.
So in her four events, Gillingham took three firsts and a second.
Also on pace for Canby/Minneota was Grace Drietz. She won both the 800-meter run in 2:26.02 and the 1600-meter run in 5:10.27.
In addition, Drietz got a first with the 4x400-meter relay team.
On the hurdles, Kameron King is ... well, the King for Canby-Minneota. Her 100-meter hurdle time of :17.73 was a winner and she came in second to Avery Koenen of Montevideo just 1.1 seconds behind.
Also adding her name to the top of the list of C-M finishers is Canby freshman RyAnn Hansen. Her 400-meter dash time of 1:09.97 was a winner, she captured the long jump and anchored the winning 4x400-meter relay team. She started off the winning 4x200-meter relay squad as well to register four wins on the day for her C-M squad.
Minneota’s Isabelle Hennen placed third and Canby’s Delaney Houseman fourth in the 200-meter dash and Hennen qualified for the sectionst in the 100-meter dash witha fifth place finish.
Maya Wente was for in the triple jump. Hannah Jelen took a fourth in the discus.
