ROSHOLT – The Spencer track team will be well-represented at next week’s WIAA State Track & Field Championships after seven individuals qualified in 12 events, and two girls relays teams moved on with top-four finishes at the WIAA Division 3 sectional Thursday at Rosholt High School.
Senior Noah Zastrow, and his freshman sister Hannah Zastrow, combined for eight berths at the state meet, which will be June 2-3 at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse.
Noah Zastrow won the pole vault with a vault of 14 feet, 7 inches, and will return to state in the event for the fourth-straight year. He placed third his freshman and sophomore seasons, before taking second last year at state.
Zastrow also finished third in the 110-meter hurdles (15.67) and the 300 hurdles (41.81), and was fourth in the long jump (20 feet, 5½ inches) to qualify for state in all four of his events.
Hannah Zastrow won the girls high jump (5-3) and the 100 hurdles (16.67), and was second in the pole vault (9-3) behind teammate Johanna Ellefson (11-0), who is the defending Division 3 state champion in the event.
Ellefson also teamed with Delaney Eichman, Kaily Northup and Zastrow to take second in the 400-meter relay, finishing in 51.57 seconds.
The other Spencer girls state qualifier was the 800 girls relay team of Lauren Faber, Liz Endreas, Eichman and Northup (1:50.86).
For the Spencer boys, Max Johnson was second in the shot put (52-3¼), Logan Zschernitz was third in the shot put (49-6) and fourth in the discus (140-1), Jacob Miller took third in the pole vault (12-3), and Aaron Pankratz finished fourth in the 400 (51.96) to also advance to La Crosse.
Marshfield Columbus Catholic has one state meet qualifier as freshman Jessica Jakopin placed third in the girls shot put with a toss of 34-8½.
The Auburndale girls, winner of its first-ever Marawood Conference South Division championship earlier this month, will also be well-represented in La Crosse as three individuals and two relay teams earned top-three finishes at the sectional.
Rachel Gronemeyer will return to the state meet in the 400 after taking second in 1:02.20. Her teammate, Isabella Jewell, just missed out in the event, taking fifth in 1:02.57, less than 1 second behind the fourth-place finisher.
Jewell will still be going to state, however, as she teamed with Gronemeyer, Kali Karl, and Isabelle Hilber to take second in the 1,600 relay in 4:09.61.
Also moving on to state for the Apaches were Hilber in the 200 (third, 27.16), Karl in the 800 (third, 2:23.93), and the 3,200 relay team of Taylor Stanton, Vanessa Mitchell, Macie Schmeiser, and Karl (third, 10:07.23).
