The Raider boys (84 points) placed second behind Cambridge (121) while hosting 10 teams at McCook High School’s home track.

Cambridge girls were clearly the most dominant team with 168.5 points — 70 more than top contender Hitchcock County (98.5 points).

Cambridge’s Zack Sickels won the 800-meter run on Thursday which followed his Monday home victory.

The Trojans were coming off their own Cambridge Invite title just three days earlier.

Complete results will be featured in Monday’s edition.

Some of the highlights included freshman Korynn Clason capturing three titles.

Claston won a terrific 200-meter ruace with Hitchcock’s Kyleigh Scott, edging her 27.3 seconds to 27.4.

Scott did win the 100-meter dash with a time of 12.96 over Cambridge’s Kaylea Shaner (13.15).

Clason earlier won both the long and triple jumps.

Freshman classmate Cali Gunderson joined Clason as multiple-event winners. Gunderson won both the 400 and 1600-meter runs. Maywood-Hayes Center’s Kayla Minary erased all drama as she won the 3200 by more than 30 seconds.

The boys’ side featured Medicine Valley hurdlers Landon Lenz and Logan Burke both winning titles.

Southwest’s Alec May won the long jump while state leader Derek Greenlee soared beyond all triple jumpers. Again, results on Monday.
