Three athletes compete at Nebraska State Track-Field Meet, Shae Wallin earns medal

Three Newman Grove Track and Field Athletes participated in the 2008 Nebraska State Track and Field meet, May 16 and 17, 2008, at Omaha Burke Stadium.

Shae Wallin, running in true form

Junior Shae Wallin earned a 6th place medal in the girls 300 meter hurdles on Saturday with a time of 49.3 seconds in the finals. Shae also qualified for the State Meet in the 100 meter high hurdles, ran in the prelims bud did not make the finals. Shae became the first Newman Grove girl to score at State Track-Field Meet since 1998 when Tanya Frauendorfer placed 4th in the 3220 meters. Congratulations Shae!

Senior Sean Farrier and freshman April Ramaekers also represented Newman Grove at the State Meet.

Sean competed in the Shot Put on Friday and Discuss on Saturday but was unable to place. Sean will move on next fall to become a college student at Wayne State. Good Luck Sean!

Sean's smile tells it all, having the time of his life at State Track Meet.

April ran her 2nd best time of the year in the 3200 meters at 13 minutes 22 seconds but did not place. The experience of the State Meet should help April in the next three years of competition.

A good group of parents, family members, team members, and classmates followed the athletes to Omaha to cheer them on. Thanks for your support.
