Hildebrandt in 100-, 200-meter; Saunders, Bargen, Tanyavong, Capetillo in 4 x 100
Lydia Hildebrandt represented the Mountain Lake Area (MLA) Wolverines girls track-and-field team at the state meet in a pair of events – the 100-meter dash and 200-meter dash. She advanced to state by topping the section field in the 100-meter in 12.65 seconds and finishing second in the 200-meter with 26.23.
On the boys side, a second-place section finish in the 4 x 100 relay earned the quartet of Jared Saunders, Caleb Bargen, Hamlet Tanyavong and Reynaldo Capetillo a state berth. They ran to a time of 44.85 seconds, just .13 behind the winning relay team from Redwood Valley and their 44.72. Saunders and Bargen were 1/2 of the 4 x 100 that also ran in the 2014 state meet.
Minnesota State High School League State Class A Track-and-Field events were held Friday, June 5 and Saturday, June 6, at Klas Field on the campus of Hamline University in St.Paul.
Hildebrandt, Saunders and Tanyavong are recent graduates of Mountain Lake Public High School (MLHS) and Bargen of Mountain Lake Christian, while Capetillo just completed his freshman year at MLHS.
Team Head Coach is Paul Metcalf, with Assistant Coaches Scott Boelke, Matt Anderson and Brian Oeltjenbruns.
