paton-churdan-rockets-300x285-2

The Paton-Churdan girls and boys track & field teams competed in the Rolling Valley Activities Conference Meet at Woodbine on Tuesday. Both P-C teams finished last among eight teams. Juniors Trevon Keely and Blaise Schilling did not take part for the P-C boys and both would have been favored to win multiple events between them.

Neither team of Rockets placed first on the night, but both had runner-up finishes. The P-C girls were led by a second place finish in the 1,500 meter run from Ava Minnehan. She was clocked in 5:58.96. The P-C boys were second in the 4 x 800 meter relay in 9:58.56 with Nate Keyes, Shane Kiley, Joel Duckett, and Rhys Palmer.

Woodbine won the girls’ team title with 173 points, followed by 117 from CAM (Anita), 88 for Boyer Valley (Dunlap), 79 from Coon Rapids-Bayard, 62 by Exira-Elk Horn-Kimballton, 32 from Glidden-Ralston, 16 by Ar-We-Va (Westside), and Paton-Churdan had 13 points.

The boys’ title also went to Woodbine with the Tigers scoring 189 points to 133 from CAM. BV was third at 100 with 43 for AWV, 35 from CR-B, 34 for G-R, 25 from EEKH, and P-C had 20.
