PEQUOT LAKES — Nine first-place finishes went to the home teams as the Pequot Lakes track teams hosted a Mid-State Conference meet on Tuesday, May 16.

"With the great weather and our first home varsity track meet this year the girls performed very well," Patriot girls coach Jeff Brever said. "We had many athletes perform their season bests."

Eli Hall and Charlie Shiessl led the way for the Patriot boys. Hall won the 1600-meter race with a time of 4:29.06 and the 3200-meter race with a time of 10:01.18.
