The Lone Tree Lion track and field teams would put together another strong showing last night at the Belle Plaine Co-Ed Invitational. The Lone Tree girls were second in the team standings with a score of 116 points, 51 behind the winners from English Valleys.

The relay teams would again lead the way for the Lions, as they were the 4-by-100-meter champions with a time of 53.29 seconds and the winners of the 4-by-200 in a tick under one minute 53 seconds. Lone Tree’s victory in the sprint medley came in 1:53, and they would also finish in second place in the distance medley.

Rylee Shield was one of the individual winners for the Lions, taking the title in the 400-meter dash with a time of just under 1:02. Fellow senior Hayden Yoder would win the discus throw with a top toss of 112 feet three inches. Yoder was also second in the shot put, as was junior Ava Christofferson in the long jump and senior Vivian Zaruba in the 200 meters.

The Lone Tree boys finished fourth as a team at Belle Plaine, but their 4-by-100 relay would claim victory by clocking in at 46.81 seconds. Junior Dom Garcia was the runner-up in the 200 for the Lions, as was sophomore Brock Nebergall in the 800, while junior Emmett Burke and freshman Trenton McKean took third in the 400 and 1,600, respectively.
