MILBANK – Aberdeen Roncalli took advantage of the best weather of the season on Tuesday to record personal best performances in a variety of events during the Valley Queen Cheese Invitational track and field meet.

“Both our girls and boys teams had really good days today,” said Roncalli coach Mark Stone. “For the first time all spring, the weather was beautiful and it allowed them to be at their very best.”

Roncalli’s Morgan Fiedler won all four of the events she competed in. The senior won the 400-meter dash, the long jump and ran on two winning relay teams. Teammate Jaidyn Feickert won the 100-meter dash and also ran on the two first-place squads.

Other members on the winning 400-meter and 1,600-meter relays were Ella Ulmer and Ava Hanson.

“It looks like we had over 30 personal best performances today for the year,” Stone said. “So we had some girls and boys that had big days. We were able to strengthen some of our rankings in the top 24 (which determines entries into the state meet) and we had some new entries into the top 24.”

Milbank Area’s Bennett Schwenn also had a huge day, winning four individual events. The senior won the 200, 400, long jump and triple jump.

The other double individual event winner was Hamlin’s Gracelyn Leiseth who won the shot put and discus.

Roncalli heads to Sisseton for its final regular-season meet on Friday before competing in the Northeast Conference meet a week from Thursday in Britton.

“These are busy days and weeks for track teams,” Stone said, “but it’s also an exciting time.”
