Robb sets new Raider shot put record

Kali Robb broke Sidney’s school record with a throw of 41-11, to win the shot put competition at Gothenburg on Saturday. The toss shattered her own mark of 40-9, set in 2011.

Robb’s feat was the highlight of a strong performance by the Raiders girls squad. The thrower’s 119-0 in discus was good enough for the runner up spot. Karissa Segelke captured a second in the 300 hurdles and third in the 100 hurdles. She also took a turn with the 4x100 relay team, along with Robb, Gabbie Addleman and Morgan Linneman.

As a team, Sidney finished in the bronze position, just 9 points behind second place McCook, with the addition of solid outings by Preslie Allen in the 800 run, Alli Ehler’s 1600 time and the Raiders’ relay squads.

Lexington edged Sidney’s boys for fifth by a mere fraction--two-tenths of a point. The outcome was tight thanks to the efforts of Nick Conger, Logan Lewis, Brendan Holly, and Sam Arterburn, amongst others.

Conger cleared the bar at 6-1 to capture top spot in the high jump competition. He backed that up by crossing the line fourth in the 110 hurdles.

Lewis and Holly took crucial seconds--Lewis in the 200 dash, Holly trailing his teammate in the high jump by inches. Meanwhile Arterburn ran a 4:54.6 to take home bronze in the 1600.

Lucas Rosenbaum finished fourth in the pole vault competition. And the 1600 sprint medley side of Michael Muggli, Blake Bayne, Garrett Dee and Hayden Lienemann cruised to a top three.
