Trojan boys' track team wins Kee Invite, TV girls place third

LANSING - On a cold and windy day for a track meet Thursday, April 20, the Turkey Valley boys’ team grabbed first place at the Lansing Kee Invitational while the TV girls’ team placed third overall.

In the boys’ meet, Wyatt Blazek won gold in the 100 dash (11.53 seconds), the 200 dash (24.02) and he helped the 4x200 relay team place first in 1:36.18. 

Jordon Snyder won gold in the 1600 (5:10.51) and the 3200 (11:02.93). Cale Reicks won gold in the 400 hurdles in a time of 1:00.41. The sprint medley (1:45.97) and distance medley (3:59.14) both captured first place.

In the girls’ meet, Shelby Reicks nabbed gold in the 400 in 1:04.39, and she took gold in the 1500 in 5:38.30. The 4x100 team won gold in a time of 57.79.

Alicia Klimesh was second in the 400 hurdles in 1:24.02, and Shelby Reicks took second in the 200 in 29.85. The 4x200 (2:05.90) and the 4x800 (12:23.76) both placed second.

“Alicia Klimesh had a good meet,” TV Girls’ Coach Brian Schmitt said. “She ran a personal best in the 400 hurdles. Sadie Nymeyer had her first meet back after a slight hamstring pull and ran longer on the night. I thought she competed very well. 

“Our times are slowly coming down and the girls are seeing improvement within their splits and events,” Schmitt said.

The Turkey Valley girls’ track team will compete at the MFL-Mar-Mac Invite on Thursday, April 27 at 4:30 p.m. The Turkey Valley boys’ track team will compete at the Starmont Invite Friday, April 28 at 4:45 p.m.
