Herder girls take 2nd, boys come in 4th at SEWAC

The Glenrock track athletes put on a strong showing at the Southeast Wyoming Athletic Conference meet in Pine Bluffs on Saturday after a few athletes got to show off in a field event-only meet on Thursday.

The girls raced their way to a second-place team finish at SEWAC thanks to a string of good performances in the 400-meter dash and pole vault that saw the Lady Herd go 2-3-4 in both events. First-place finishes in the 4x100 and 4x800 and a second-place finish in the 4x400  propelled the team to its runner-up placing. 

On the boys side, the Halvorsen brothers again turned in strong days in the 3,200-meter run, finishing in second and third place, as did the Orozco brothers in the shot put, who mirrored the Halvorsens’ finish. Exchange student Filip Zedek took home the lone gold for the Herders on the day, winning the high jump with a leap of 5-08. 

The Herders will have one more chance to qualify for Casper this weekend when they head to Newcastle for the 2A East Regional Track Meet. First gun is at 9:30 a.m. on Friday.
