It took placing in every event to score points, but the South Winn boys’ track team left Independence Thursday evening with the team title with 159.50 points.

The 4x400 team was the lone event to score top points for the Warriors, crossing the finish line in 3:51.67.

Collecting second-place finishes for South Winn were Ben Meyer in the 400m dash, Alex Stammeyer in the 800m run, Garrett Bohach in the 1600m run, and Chris Brincks in the 100m high hurdles.

Brincks had perhaps one of the best meets of his career as he finished fourth behind teammate Jordan Rommes in the high jump and third in the 400m hurdles.

Aside from his third place in the high jump, Rommes bested teammate Jared Schroeder in the 200m dash to claim another third-place finish in a time of 24.88.

Alex Shatek clocked 55.51 in the 400m dash to earn his bronze of the evening, as well.

Other top finishes came from the second-place shuttle hurdle relay team. 

Third-place finishes came from the 4x100, 4x800, and distance medley teams. Participants in those relays were unavailable at press time.
