The Rockets’ track team traveled to Belcourt on Thursday, April 28 to compete in the Turtle Mountain Invite.
Although this meet didn’t count towards state-qualifying, this was more of a “glorified” practice. The Rockets still competed with all their might, and some were even able to bring home some first place finishes.
The Rockets’ took first place in four track and field events. Kelsie Belquist was the name on three of those events. Belquist took first place in the 55-meter dash with a time of 7.03 seconds, first place in the 200-meter dash with a time of 25.13 seconds and first place in the 55-meter hurdles with a time of 8.13 seconds.
The fourth first place came from Kaden Jensen in the high jump event. Jensen jumped a height of 5’10”. Jensen also competed in the 55- meter dash and the 200-meter dash, taking second and third place, respectively.
Porter Granger competed alongside Jensen in the high jump event, and placed third with a jump of 5’6”.
Luke Yri and Katie Allmaras both ran the 400-meter dash and each finished in sixth place. Yri had a time of 59.50 seconds and Allmaras had a time of 1:09.50.
Allmaras also competed in the 55-meter dash and placed sixth with a time of 7.73 seconds. Lucy Meier also competed alongside Allmaras and placed fourth with a time of 7.49 seconds.
NR-S sophomore, Lora Wobbema, finished in eighth place with a shot of 25’5”.
With the weather finally starting to look like spring, this indoor meet should be the last the Rockets will compete in before the season is over.
Below are results from the Turtle Mountain Invite.
