The Eagles advanced 16 athletes (7 girls and 9 boys) to next week’s Section 2A Meet at Mankato, highlighted by a trio of sub-section championship performances and five second-place silver-medalist finishes.
Winning gold medals yesterday were Braylen Lyons in the 800-meter run, Job Ogeka in the triple jump and Kevin Bleess in the long jump.
Sub-Section runner-up performances included Lilly Meyer in the girls discus throw, Elliot Serreyn in the high jump, Ogeka in the long jump and a pair of relay finishes by the boys. The all-sophomore team of Bryce Green, Caelen Ralston, Isaac Bordewyk and Lyons claimed second in the 4 x 800 and the foursome of Ogeka, Green, Lyons and Bleess advanced with a very close second-place finish in the 4 x 400.
Windom’s boys racked up 85 points to finish third among the 12 competing teams and qualified nine athletes in 10 events to the section meet. The girls scored 30 points and will send seven in five events to Mankato.
