The Bulldogs had a decent meet, according to coach Darrel Carstens. "We had some really good performances but also showed the lack of depth that has been our trademark in winning the past years," he said. "We are confident that the potential is there to have a great year."

Leading the way for the Bulldogs was junior Lee Fuchs-Thielen, who placed in three events. Fuchs-Thielen was third in both the long jump and the triple jump and was fifth in the 55-meter dash.

The Bulldogs also had three runner-up finishes. Senior Riley Flanders was second in the 800-meter run and helped the Dogs' 1,600-meter relay team finish second, too. Other relay members were junior Chad Wyffels, senior Tommy Flannigan, and senior Milan Virant.

Ninth grader Aaron Bachman was second in the pole vault, clearing 10' 6".

Junior Scott Millner was third in the 55-meter hurdles for the Dogs.

This week, the Bulldogs start their outdoor season. They will compete at ACGC on Thursday starting at 4:15 p.m. They also will host their first meet of the season on Monday, April 7, starting at 4:30 p.m.
