Boys open track season at Waverly

North Fayette finally got its outdoor track season started Friday, April 5, at Waverly. The Hawks finished sixth in a field crammed with Class 3A schools. Decorah edged the host Go-Hawks, 135-129.

Head coach Mark Nuss stated, “There was a lot of strong competition at this meet. In comparing the times with the Beckman meet, if we had we gone there with the girls, we would have done much better. However, it was good to get a meet in, and we got a lot of good experience against some rugged teams.”

In the medal race, NF brought home four bronze medals. Danny Halva (3200) and Colin Vagts (100) each won individual bronze medals.

Also placing third were the 4x100 and 4x200 relays. Derrick Kuehner, Derik Lau, Trevor Hurd and Colin Vagts ran the 4x100. The foursome of Kuehner, Leif Lujan, Zach Bruns and Vagts ran the 4x200.
