The Otter girls tied for 6th with Sauk Rapids Rice at the Central Lakes Conference Indoor Meet on Friday.  Rocori won the event with 144 points and Alexandria was second with 131.  They were followed by Brainerd 90.5, Willmar 69, St. Cloud Apollo 60.5, Fergus Falls 27, Sauk Rapids-Rice 27, Sartell 18.5, St. Cloud Tech 15.5.

“We had great performances on the track and in the field,” said Fergus Falls Head Coach Niki Welde.  “Ainsley Hansen stole the show today at the high jump setting a school record and Indoor CLC meet record.  I am very excited for her, getting the school record has been a goal of hers for years.  Having it be a CLC record sweetens the deal that much more.  The previous record was set by Otter great Sharon (Kunz) Casey.  It stood for 40 years.  Sharon held and holds multiple records on our board.  Today was a remarkable achievement for Hansen.” 

Ella Starzl's performances helped the team by scoring in 3 events, the high jump, long jump, and 4x200M Relay.  Sarah Grotberg placed in the 3200 in her debut race in that event.
