Craig’s Abi Anderson was the lone Cougar to compete. She ran the 3200-meter race and finished fourth with a time of 11 minutes and 11.67 seconds.
“It’s an invite only meet and we just felt like she needed to race against some high level competition,” said Craig coach Brandon Miles.
Miles said it was one of the fastest times a Cougar girl has run the 3200-meter race.
“That was pretty exciting, she raced really well,” Miles said.
For Janesville Parker, Harper Brandenburg took fourth in the 400-meter dash in 58.21 seconds, which is a new personal record.
Brandenburg, along with Shaylyn Schuh, Mia Riley and Violet McCue took sixth in the 800-meter relay race with a time of 1:45.46.
Parker’s Landen Wright threw a mark 152 feet, four inches in the boys discus throw to finish ninth. Teammate Alexander Vallee took ninth in the boys’ 300-meter hurdles with a time of 41.53.

“Landen Wright was the person that stood out,” Viking coach Richard Schuh said.
Wright’s score was also a personal best.

Reilly also said the meet was a good representation of what a state meet is set up like.
Milton’s day was highlighted by Markham taking first in the boys discus throw (158-6) and Olivia Reichelt took fourth in the girls 100-meter dash (13.03).
