LYNDON — Yates Center High’s track team kicked off a busy week in fine fashion Monday. INDIVIDUALLY, Yates Center’s Drake Busteed was a two-time gold medalist. He won the 800-meter run with a time of 2 minutes, 15 seconds, and the 1600-meter run with a time of 5:03. Girls
The Wildcat boys took home third place overall at the Lyndon Relays.
Yates Center’s girls did them one better, taking second.
The teams don’t have long to bask in the glow of their success. Weather permitting, Yates Center is scheduled to host its own track meet this afternoon.
“We did great with our kids scoring very well,” Yates Center coach Dan Berg said. “Some of our times were a little slower and distances a little less, but we liked the way our kids competed. Just about everyone scored, if not in an open event, in a relay. I’m pleased with where we are at this time of the year.”
The Wildcat boys finished third with 70 points behind host Lyndon’s 143 and Osage City in second with 129.
Yates Center’s girls also scored 70 points. Northern Heights won the girls competition with 150 points.
Mindi Holloway won the 800 on the girls side with a time of 2:38.43. She teamed with Rylie Albert, Paige Steinforth and Ashley Pringle to win the 4×100-meter relay with a time of 54.9 seconds.
