REMINGTON – Kaden Elmore had a monster day on Tuesday running track for the Moundridge track/field team in Remington as he scored three individual golds and one relay gold in leading the Wildcat boys to a second-place team finish.

Elmore scored wins in the 100, 200, and 400 meters while also running the second leg on the first-place finishing 4×100 meter relay quartet that also included Garrett Doherty, Landon Kaufman, and Mac Unruh. Moundridge took first-second-third in both the 200 and 400 meters and first-second in the 100.

Jacob Schwartz also scored a gold for the Wildcats by winning the long jump as the boys rolled up 136 team points to place second in the team standings behind Berean Academy with 198.

The day did not go as well for the Lady Wildcats as they finished fifth out of the six team field with just 24 points well behind Berean Academy and Little River who finished first and second with 176 and 126 points.

Avery Schrag scored all 24 Moundridge points with a pair of fourth-place finishes, a third-place finish, and her gold medal by winning the 200 meters.

Next up on the schedule for the Moundridge track/field team will be on Thursday at Council Grove.
