Some set personal bests, one tied a 38-year-old record and many looked to be in mid-season form during the Class B Fuller Invitational at the Barnett Center Thursday.

Athletes from a nine schools participated in the indoor track and field meet. While no team points were kept, it was easy to spot standout performances.

Paige Mehlberg of Ipswich tied a school record in the high jump dating back to 1983. The senior cleared 5-foot 3-inches to win the event and tie a mark set by Bobbi Jo Bobby.

“I wanted to get a base so I can progress from there. And I wanted to work on my form a lot today, too,” Mehlberg said. “I really don’t know where that (height) came from, if I’m being honest.”

Mehlberg, who also finished second in the 200-meter dash and ran on the winning 1,600-meter relay squad, said she was just happy to be able to compete after COVID wiped out last year’s campaign.

“I’m glad that I got like a nice base to start with. I can only improve from here,” she said. “I’m grateful that we got to come here and I’m grateful that we even got to have this track season since we didn’t get to have one last year.”

Mehlberg wasn’t the only happy athlete at the meet. Webster’s Drew Reetz was all smiles after winning the boys’ pole vault. The sophomore beat his personal best mark by 2 1/2 feet on the way to clearing 12-6.

“I came in at 10 (feet) because I just wanted to get a height,” Reetz said. “My overall goal was 12-6, so I guess I got that.”

Reetz said he enjoys vaulting indoors because there are a fewer elements be concerned about.

“It all just does depend on the track that you’re running on and the mat itself,” he said. “I do like going indoors, because there’s no wind and no sun to go right in your eyes.”

Krystal Geier of North Central also had a big day indoors, but said she prefers competing outdoors.

“I definitely like the outdoors better just because of the fresh air and I just seem to compete a lot better outdoors than indoors,” Geier said.

The senior had a big day winning both the long jump and triple jump.

“Triple jump is definitely harder than long jump,” Geier said. “It’s harder on my knees, but I think my hop helps me to get a lot further in triple jump. In long jump I don’t have that. I just have the one jump so then I can’t get as far.”

Warner’s Cody Larson looked sharp in his first official outing of the spring. The State B individual cross country champion won the 800-meter and 1,600-meter runs, and anchored the winning 1,600-meter relay team.

Larson started out on the inside lane of the 1,600 and set a blistering pace as soon as the gun went off.

“If I had my choice, I would have rather had lane three or something like that to come in,” Larson said. “I almost got cut off at the beginning there. I ran the first lap a little fast, but that’s alright.”

Larson appeared to get stronger as the race wore on and lapped nearly every runner twice in the event.

“That was the plan,” Larson said of his brisk pace. “Stay consistent throughout the whole thing.”

Nobody won more individual events than Aberdeen Christian’s Ben Rohl. The junior won the 55-meter dash, the 200-meter dash, and the long jump.

“I haven’t done this since eighth grade,” Rohl said, “so I’m out of shape.”

When asked what his best event is, Rohl responded, “I haven’t tried the 100, yet. I want to give that a try.”

Aberdeen Christian Coach David Rohrbach knew his sprinter was fast, but because Rohl moved to Aberdeen from Colorado Springs and there was no season last year, Thursday marked his first track meet for the Knights.

“We knew he was fast. We were excited to see him run last year and then COVID happened,” Rohrbach said. “There’s a lot of people we were excited to see run and obviously from a sprint standout we were excited to see what Ben could do, because everyone knew he was fast. He can fly, that’s for sure.”

The Knights also received solid performances from their girls distance runners. Hailey Moeller won the 3,200-meter run, Rachel Beaner was second in the 800, and Kira Goldade was second, Kathryn Steger third and Grace Steger fifth in the 1,600.

“I thought Kira and Stegers both had really good races. I thought Rachel had a good race as well and then Hailey first in the two-mile” Rohrbach said. “They obviously had a real good cross country season (placing second at state), so they did a real good job in the distance races.”

The Knights, who will compete at an outdoor meet in Miller on Thursday, April 1, now have a solid starting point for the season.

“I thought they placed really well. I know some of the girls were wanting some of their times to be different, but as far as placing and just getting out there first meet, I thought everybody ran pretty well,” Rohrbach said. “For the first meet I thought a lot of positive takeaways.”
