            MOUNDRIDGE – Being among 12 teams competing at the Moundridge Invitational track/field meet on Tuesday was no problem for the Inman track/field teams as the Lady Teutons won the team title and the Teuton boys placed second.

            Despite winning just two events, the Lady Teutons still managed to roll up 100 points in the meet to win the team title. Bennington, Salina Sacred Heart, Elyria Christian, and Sterling rounded out the top five teams in the point standings.

            Chloe Schmidt in the discus and Brylee Mannebach in the triple jump earned the two first-place medals while the majority of the team points came from placing second in five events, third in five events and fourth in three events.

            In an all-McPherson County finish, the Teuton boys placed second in the team standings with 87 points, 24 points behind team champion and county rival Moundridge and 26 points ahead of third-place Canton/Galva. Hutchinson Trinity and Sterling rounded out the top five of the 12 teams competing.

            Leading the Teuton boys was Tanner Heckel as he won three events, finishing first in the 100 meters, long jump and the javelin while Eli Brunk won the 110-meter hurdles.

            The Teuton track/field teams are now off for 10 days to prep for the Heart of America League meet in Marion on Friday, May 12.
