The Cardinal Relays on Tuesday, April 12, had been underway a while when the event experienced a one-hour lightning delay.
The teams returned to the track only to have the remaining events canceled because of ongoing threatening weather.
The events that did not take place were the 4-by-400 relay, 3200, 200, 800, and 300 hurdles for both boys and girls, and the 400 for the boys.
The Luverne girls won the team title at Tuesday’s shortened event, and the boys finished second to Southwest Minnesota Christian-Ellsworth.
A meet highlight was that Ashton Sandbulte broke his own school record in the 100-meter dash with a 10.95, which was also a new Cardinal Relays record.
Tenley Nelson also set a new Cardinal Relays record with her 5:21.08 first-place finish in the 1600-meter run.
Jenna DeBates followed Nelson in third place with a time of 5:30.22.
Tiana Lais won the 400-meter dash in 1:05.08.
Jadyn Hart (114-4) and Jocelyn Hart (104-2) finished first and second in the discus respectively.
Their sister, Kaitlyn Hart, is the Cardinals’ throwing coach.
“Of course, they’ve already both thrown farther than me in both the shot put and the discus, which has irritated me and delighted both of them, but absolutely no hard feelings,” coach Hart said.
“It’s been great watching them set goals for themselves and reach those goals, even if they knock me off the leaderboard.”
Out of 30 athletes Hart has only three juniors and seniors (including her sisters and Jordan Friedrichsen), and she said she has emphasized the importance of weight training with every practice.
“It’s very fun to see these athletes push themselves to get stronger and to see that impact their goals for throwing for the season,” Hart said.
Isabella Oye had a second-place finish (13.34) in the 100-meter dash.
The 4-by-800-meter relay of Tiana Lais, Cassi Chesley, Ella Schmuck and Maria Rops finished first (10:52.18).
The boys 4-by-200-meter relay of Lucky Dara, Gavin DeBeer, Eli Radtke and Sandbulte finished first (1:37.33).
Mia Wenzel tied for first in the high jump (4-6) and was part of the 4-by-100-meter relay with Anna Banck, Isabella Oye and Sarah Stegenga which finished second in a time of 53.97.
Alexis Hultgren finished second in the pole vault (7-0).
