The first scored track & field  meet of the season for the Greene County boys resulted in just eight points on the board and an eleventh place finish. The Rams were at the Winterset Husky Invitational on March 31 on a cloudy, chilly afternoon/evening.

Senior Nick Schroeder scored six of the Rams’ points by finishing third in the 100 meter dash in 11.82 seconds. Schroeder is in just his second season of high school track & field and he was running the 100 meters for the first time. There were 27 runners in the field.

The other two points for the Rams came from freshman Carter Morton via a pair of sixth place finishes. Morton cleared 5′ 6″ in the high jump to finish sixth among 26 jumpers, and he was sixth in the 400 meter low hurdles in 1:01.92 in a field of 22. Only juniors and seniors finished ahead of the ninth grader.

None of the seven Greene County relays finished in the top six, which was required to score team points. The best was a seventh place finish in the 4 x 100 in :47.24 with seniors Chase Stoline, Schroeder, Logan Lansman, and junior Jordan Patterson.

Carlisle won the team title at Winterset with 117 points, well ahead of the 89 scored by second place Earlham. ADM was third with 68, followed by Woodward Academy 64, Nodaway Valley 60, Norwalk 58.5, Winterset 51, Mount Ayr 32.5, Nevada 24, Woodward-Granger 14, Greene County 8, Clarke (Osceola) 2. Creston and Martensdale-St. Mary’s did not score.
