Chloe Bermel scored two runner-up finishes to lead the Pequot Lakes Patriots in second place at Section 8AA True Team track and field meet on Tuesday, May 5, at Detroit Lakes. The host Lakers were first with 693 while the Patriots followed with 571.
Bermel was second in the 100- and 200-meter dashes while Pequot Lakes' 4x100 relay of Brittny Bzdok, Grace McGuire, Mirjana Ganley and Bermel placed first. The Patriots' Desera Engholm finished second in the discus with a toss of 105 feet, 4 inches.
"Going into the meet, we were anticipating fast times and a high score," said Pequot Lakes girls' coach Jana Lueck. "Throughout the day we hung in second place, and were not able to pull off a deficit of 120 points. As we get ready for our subsection (May 21), all of us are looking to fine tune and create the best possible outcomes."
The Pequot Lakes boys placed fifth as Chase Blaeser was second in both the 110 and 300 hurdles.
The Patriots' 4x100 relay of Blaeser, Cody Huss, Ben Nelson, Jeremiah Dischinger and Pequot Lakes' 4x400 relay of Reid Pierzinski, Huss, CJ Borleis and Dillon Nichols both finished third.

"Naturally, our track athletes perform at a higher level when put up against tough competition," said Pequot Lakes coach Dave Guenther. "We had several personal bests, which is exciting. We went into this meet knowing that there would be some good competition, and that pushes our athletes."
The Patriots are scheduled to host an invitational at 4 p.m. on Friday, May 15.
