IPSWICH – Ipswich won both team championships during its own track and field invitational on Thursday.

Aberdeen Roncalli finished second in the girls’ division and third in the boys’ team points.

The invite was put together at the last minute to give athletes another opportunity to compete with numerous other meets being postponed or canceled so far this spring.

“It was sure a blessing to have the meet today in Ipswich,” said Roncalli coach Mark Stone, thanking Ipswich athletic director Dan Knust and Ipswich coach Todd Thorson for putting the meet together. “We had some outstanding performances again on our girls and our boys squads.”

The Cavaliers won four of the five relay races in the girls’ division. Ella Ulmer, Jaidyn Feickert, Morgan Fiedler, Sarah Schmidt, Bella Martinez, Rose Gutenkauf and Madisen Martin all ran on two winning relay teams. Ulmer also won the 100-meter hurdles and tied for first in the 300-meter intermediate hurdles.

Roncalli won a pair of boys’ relay races. Matthew Martinez, Maddox May, Caden Shelton and Jayden Munroe were members of both teams. May also won the 300 hurdles, and Shelton won the long jump.

“Again today, we had lots of personal best performances in both field events and track events,” Stone said. “It’s not easy to have track meets two days apart, but we are really proud of their effort and their resiliency. We are excited about our progress and are looking forward to next week.”

Several athletes won multiple individual events on the day.

Northwestern’s Jessica Boekelheide won the 100, 200 and 400 meter dashes, while Ella Boekelheide won the 1,600 and 3,200 meter runs. On the boys’ side, Ty Kadlec of Ipswich won the 100 and 200, while teammate Zach Geditz won the shot put and discus. Northwestern’s Lincoln Woodring won the 1,600 and 3,200.

Roncalli heads to a meet in Milbank on Tuesday before going to Sisseton on Friday.
