The Fergus Falls Boys Track and Field team traveled to Detroit Lakes to compete at the Section 8AA True Team meet on Thursday. Unlike traditional meets where a team could dominate with a few elite performers, the True Team Series leveled the playing field by limiting entries per event. Each team was permitted only two entries for individual events, and one entry for each relay event. This format ensured that every athlete's performance contributed to the team's success, as every entry was scored based on their finishing position. This approach highlighted the importance of every team member, from the top performers to those contributing crucial points with second entries. The True Team Series thus became a celebration of true team effort and performance, where every athlete's contribution was vital to their team's success.
On the Boys side Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton won the meet with 414.5 points and will qualify for the True Team state meet held in Stillwater next week. Detroit Lakes placed 2nd with 406 and Fergus Falls placed 3rd with 353 points.
First place finishers for the Otters were Jaden Miller in the 800 meter run (2:00.21), the 4x800 Meter Relay (8:23.80) and Shane Zierden in the triple jump (43-04.50). Zierden also took third place in the long jump (20-01.50) and fifth in the 110 meter hurdles (17.04). Layten Drouillard had a runner-up finish in the discus (144-06), Miller took third in the 1600 meter run (4:26.32), Andrew Muchow placed third in the pole vault (12-00.00) and Michael Schmidt finished fifth in the 3200 (10:25.30).
The Otter Boys had a great day of competing and many personal best performances all around. It was an important day to step up. Of course we had some performances that fell short but those individuals shouldn't hold their heads down, our placing as a team would not have been affected. We were 53 points out of the next placement, even if all of our guys did the best we had on paper we would have fallen short. Our chances are not over, we will be placed in the running for 4 wild card spots at the state meet. We get placed in a virtual meet with the other sections that will include the 2nd through 5th place teams in all 8 sections. The top 4 teams will round out a 12 team field in Stillwater.
We will find out those results this Saturday once all of the section results are available and final.
