The Central boys and girls track and field teams concluded their seasons May 14, at the Class 1A state qualifying meet at Edgewood-Colesburg. The boys generated 24 points, ranking 13th among participating schools. The girls finished 11th as a team with 27.5 points.

Girls coach Martha Bauder said weather once again played a part, starting out nearly perfect but then transitioning to stormy conditions that led to an unfortunate hour-long weather delay. Athletes did not arrive home until after midnight.

“Although we found out Friday that we did not qualify any events for the state meet, we still had numerous bright spots,” she said.

For the girls, that included 13 PRs and five season best events.
