CROOKSTON TRACK & FIELD TEAMS COMPETE IN PINE-TO-PRAIRIE AT CONCORDIA

The Crookston Pirate Boys and Girls Track & Field teams were back at Concordia College in Moorhead on Monday night for the Pine-To-Prairie Indoor Meet.

The Crookston Pirate Girls team finished eighth out of 14 teams and the Pirate Boys team finished 14th out of 15 teams. Barnesville won the girl’s division handily scoring 102.5 points. East Grand Forks won the boy’s division.

GIRLS –
Cassie Solheim had another strong showing for the Pirates on the girl’s side as she took second place in the long jump and fourth place in the 200 meters with a time of 28.82 which was slightly better than her last meet. “Cassie was really strong again today for us,” said Pirates coach Amy Boll. “To be able to do it in so many different events just shows how good of an athlete she is.” Crookston’s relay teams also both placed once again with the 4X200 team of Halle Winjum, Ashlyn Bailey, Isabelle Smith, and Cassie Solheim taking sixth place with a time of 2:01.45. The 4X400 team of Chloe Boll, Isabelle Smith, Carley Knutson, and Sam ZiiZii also finished in the top ten with a ninth place finish and time of 5:04.90.

Back on the field side of things Libby Salentine finished sixth place in the shot put giving the Pirates three more points. Crookston also had some success at Pole Vaulting with both Halle Winjum taking third place, and Chloe Boll taking seventh place. “I thought our Pole Vaulters did really well today also,” said Pirates coach Amy Boll. “Reilly Stroot has been doing a great job coaching our Pole Vaulters and it’s been fun to watch.”

BOYS –
On the boy’s side of things, Thor Harbott led the way finishing in the top ten in two events. Harbott took sixth place in the 800 meters and ninth place in the 1600 meters. He also filled in for Makoti Weber who couldn’t run one of the relay races. “To see Thor step up like that as a senior and fill in was great,” said Pirates coach Wayne Folkers. “He already does a lot and that was nice to see him step up when we needed someone to fill in.”

Speaking of Makoti Weber, he finished sixth place in the Pole Vault to give the Pirates three more points.
