BDS Eagles to send 13 to state track meet

The Bruning-Davenport/Shickley Eagles track team qualified 13 athletes in 13 events Wednesday during the D-5 district track and field meet at Osceola. The meet was delayed one hour due to tornado warnings in the area.

For the girls, junior Cynthia Mick led the way qualifying in four events including the pole vault, 100 meter dash, 100 meter hurdles and as the anchor on the 400 meter relay team. Other members of the qualifying team include freshmen Taylor Kindelspire and Jennifer Mick and junior Anna Lichti.

For the boys, senior William Mick qualified in four events including pole vault, both the 100 and 200 meter dashes and as a member of the 400 meter relay team. Joining Mick on the team are sophomore Luke Christensen and juniors Kendrick Holeman and Omar Gines.
