Huskies qualify 12 more for state

The Burlington Huskies competed at the LA Kohnke Powell Invitational on Saturday and continued to see personal bests. 

“Our kids that were able to go had a great meet,” said Coach Ryan Olson. “We saw some amazing performances on Saturday, led by Weston Gotfredson in the pole vault. He started seeing things really click earlier in the week and he put it all together in Powell. He improved his best vault from the week before by a foot and a half, reaching 14 feet. It will be fun to see him and Kyler Winters chase our school record (14-5) for the rest of the season.” 

Levi Wardell also qualified for state in pole vault, clearing 10-6, a personal best. Other personal bests and qualifying times on the boys’ side came from Paul McNiven in the 300 hurdles, Rykael Andrew in the shot put and Jordan Casey in the triple jump. 

“Eight personal bests came from the girls’ side, led by Madison Aagard in her throws and Raygen Andrew in her sprint races. Our girls medley relay team qualified for state with Adelle Olson, Adison Haslam, Naomi McNiven and Orabella Heaton. Our girls 4X100 also qualified with Naomi, Adison, Sophie Olson and Paxton Philpott. I’m so proud of these girls; these are distances that aren’t always their favorite to run, but they do it for their teammates.” 

Halfway through the season Burlington is settling in and growing as a team. “I’m loving how this team is coming together. They’re good kids and great teammates. They cheer each other on and help out wherever they’re needed,” said Olson. 

With stormy weather in the forecast, the D&D Invitational was moved up to Tuesday.
