North Central D-3 Invitational
At Wilson
Boys.
"Success is always nice because these kids work so hard," said Carney coach Jake Polfus. "This is kind of shocking because we have only two girls, although they ran real good today. This is a nice prize for them to get."
This victory took place just 24 hours after the Carney boys won the Goodman-Pembine Invitational at Dunbar, Wis.
"The boys ran real well at Dunbar," said Polfus. "They're showing improvement. They're also working hard in practice and that's all you can ask for. More people are getting medals and they're gaining confidence. This has been a big week for us."
The North Central boys won Wednesday, however, with 43 points. The Jets ran without freshman Jon King, who's battling a respiratory ailment.
"I'm happy with these kids today," said North Central coach Jerry Root. "Here's where you need to have a little depth and a freshman (Tyler Bentley) stepped up for us. These kids were thrilled to get a trophy. This is a great boost for them. If they work hard, there will be more trophies for them."
Superior Central was runner-up at 60, followed by defending champ Carney 63, Marquette North Star Academy 75 and Big Bay 116.."
Carney senior Dionte Blahnik, who was crowned champion a year ago, was runner-up this time at 18:18, followed by North Central freshman Seth Polfus (18:32) and sophomore Bryce Holle (19:32) and North Star's John-Henry Kibil (19:40).
"It was hard today, although I really wasn't that tired," said Blahnik, who won at Dunbar Tuesday. "I just used this as a good, hard training run for Saturday (Stephenson Invitational). I was trying to win two in a row, but it didn't happen."
North Star's Darren Kastella was unable to finish after being attacked by hornets and getting stung four times in the head early in the race. The eighth-grade harrier, who isn't allergic to bee stings, appeared to be okay.
