RHS Sports recap: Thursday, March 28


Track: RHS girls 1st/6, boys 2nd/6, Merrill Indoor


A runner-up finish in the final event of the night, the 10-lap relay, was enough to put the RHS girls’ track team over the top as they won the six-team Merrill Indoor invite on Thursday.


The team of Aila Bergman, Shyanne Hueckstaedt, Lena Timphus and Kayla Skubal came home second in the event as the Hodags leapfrogged Rib Lake for the top spot and ended up taking the title by five points over Merrill. Rib Lake was third and Wittenberg-Birnamwood finished fourth, just 6 1/2 points behind Rhinelander. 


Bergman won the 200-meter dash for the Hodags on Thursday and Luna Grage added a win in the 800 meters. Olivia Ruetz was the runner-up in both the 50 and 400, while Kara Monk took second in the 1,600.


The Hodag boys won five events on Thursday and finished second in the meet behind Waupaca. Truman Lamers won the high jump, Abe Barlog claimed the 50-meter hurdles and Sam Zwaard won the 200. Rhinelander also won the four- and 10-lap relays.


The Hodags return to action next Thursday as Northland Pines hosts the Great Northern Conference Indoor Invitational in Eagle River.


A full report will be published in Tuesday’s River News.
