Red Raiders Take First at Mitchell Invite

Sidney's Red Raider boy's track team took first place at Thursday's Mitchell Invite, edging second-place Gering 106.33 to 105. While the boys took top honors in a field of 14 teams, the girl's squad finished seventh in a field of 17 teams. The Sidney boys again dominated the distance and relay events, with junior Ben Bashtovoi winning the 800 meters and senior Collin Brauer winning the 3200 meters. The Sidney 4x400 and 4x800 relay teams both won their events, while senior Christian Lecher won the Discus and sophomore Brady Robb won the Pole Vault.

The Sidney's team consistency was the difference in the team competition, with point-earning performances by senior Cade Lewis in the sprints, senior Lane Hughes in the Shot Put, and senior Arik Doty in the Discus. In a competition that was decided by the slimmest of margins, the additional points earned in these events turned out to be the difference that gave the Sidney boys the overall team victory.

For the girls, the majority of the their points came from the throwing and jumping events, with only second place finish by the 4x800 relay team and third place finish by sophomore Morgan Jaggers in the 800 meters accounting for Sidney's points in the running events.

The Red Raider track teams were next scheduled to compete at the Creek Valley Twilight Meet on Monday and the Gothenburg Invite on Tuesday (rescheduled from Thursday due to weather concerns).
