Brock Hisler competes in the 400m. Trent Smith and Made- lyn Nichols both competed in the 800m run. Nichols pushed herself in the 800m run after coming close to the school record in Con- don. With tough competi- tion to push her, Nichols ran a smart race and tied the school record of 2:27.6, ran by Jodie Padberg in 1984. Trent Smith ran a personal best time of 2:07.32, sprint- ing to the finish to overtake several runners and take three seconds off his previ- ous best time. Leo Waite competed in the 300m hurdles, posting 46.24 in the event. Hunter Nichols ran in the night heat, the fastest heat of the day, for the 3000m race. Although he did not set a personal record, Nichols ran a fast race finishing in 9:07.48. Three relay teams competed at Centennial Invitational: the women’s 4x400m relay and the men’s 4x100m and 4x400m re- lays. The 4x100m relay team ran a mostly clean race, with one tricky hand- off adding to their time. Both of the 4x400m relay teams set season records. The women’s team (Hailey Holmgren, Hannah Finch, Marlee Mitchell and Made- lyn Nichols) ran an exciting race. With clean handoffs and a lot of effort, Nichols came across the line at 3:37.53, a season best time. The men’s team (Trent Smith, Jayden Wilson, Ma- son Lehman and Hunter Nichols) were seeded in 12 th place, midway in the second heat, but fought their way through the race. Smith started off maintain- ing a solid placement, again passing other runners in the last 100 to allow Wil- son to power to the front. Lehman took the baton first and maintained the lead, pushing to put Nichols in prime position. Nichols came across the line in 3:35.06 (less than a second off the school record time of 3:34.14, a record set in 1988) and put the team on the podium in sixth place. Both teams are excited to see what they can do in the next few weeks. Trent Smith The Mustangs next meet is in Stanfield on May 3 starting at 11 a.m., and then on to districts and state. The District 5 competition will be held at Grant Union High School in John Day on Friday, May 10. Events will start at 11 a.m. and the home crowd is invited.
