RICE LAKE – Marshfield sophomore Keiron Howlett and senior Jeremy Robinson each qualified for the WIAA State Track and Field Championships with top-three finishes at the WIAA Division 1 sectional at Rice Lake High School on Thursday.
The state meet will be held at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse on June 1-2.
Howlett won both the 110-meter hurdles (15.08 seconds) and the 300 hurdles (40.33), and took third in the long jump with a leap of 21 feet, 11.5 inches.
Robinson won the triple jump (45-3.25), was second in the 100 (11.09) and third in the 200 (22.78). He also qualified for the sectional in the long jump, but finished fifth with a jump of 21-2.5.
Joining the duo at the state meet from Marshfield, which finished third in the team standings behind Hudson and D.C. Everest, will be junior Riley Gelebein. He finished third in the 100 in 11.15 seconds.
Missing out on state appearances were Jacob Bauer (fifth in the high jump), Trevor Peterson (fifth in the shot put), Brad Krueger (eighth in the 110 hurdles), Matt DeGrand (eighth in the 400), Nolan Redetzke (seventh in the 3,200), the 800 relay team of Jeff Allison, Olin Boson, Geblein and Howlett (fourth) and the 400 relay team of Allison, Gebelein, Boson and Ryan Trierwieler, which was disqualified.
All eight of the Marshfield girls qualifiers failed to move on to the state meet.
Freshman Martha Kupfer came the closest, finishing fourth in the 200 meters in 27.01 seconds, just 1/100 of a second out of third place.
Bisola Omoba took fourth in the 100, Yasmeena Ougayour was fifth in the discus, and Kate Schmitsch took sixth in the pole vault for the Tigers.
