Caleb Davis, Charles Schiessl and Cruz Megazzini won multiple events to help the Patriot Lakes Patriot boys defeat the Pine River-Backus Tigers 121-25 in a rare track and field dual meet Thursday, May 27.
Davis was the top finisher in the 100 dash and the long jump while Schiessl finished first in the 200 dash and 110 hurdles and Megazinni was a winner for the 400 run and the triple jump.
“We had scheduled with four teams, but Perham and Nevis dropped out,” Pequot Lakes coach Dave Guenther said. “So we hosted a dual meet with Pine River-Backus. We needed to run a meet since our times had to be turned in for the virtual (Class A) state team meet. It was a challenge, with the cold weather and having just two teams competing, to have the guys run some faster times. But they did the best they could and I’m proud of them pushing themselves as well as they did.”
