Behnk Wins Triple Jump At O’Neill Invite

O’NEILL — Conditions were less than ideal, but that didn’t hinder the Wolfpack from competing Thursday at the O’Neill Invite. Cold, fog and clouds in the morning turned to sunshine in the afternoon.
Wolfpack standouts on this day were junior Lydia Behnk, who won the triple jump, Kaylee Martinsen won medals in two individual events (the 400 meter dash and high jump), the boys and girls relay teams earned medals, so too did Kyle Schumacher in the triple jump. That’s just a sampling of the Wolfpack medalists on this day.
Boyd County won the boys team title with 107 points followed by North Central 97, CWC 87, Elkhorn Valley 60, Bloomfield 51.5, Wausa 36, Clearwater/Orchard 33.5, EPPJ 12, St. Mary’s 11 and Ewing 1.
Taking the girls team title was North Central with 116 points followed by Clearwater/Orchard 96, Wausa 77, Elkhorn Valley 65, Ewing 50, St. Mary’s 32, Boyd County 32, EPPJ 32, Bloomfield 22 and CWC 5.
