The South Loup track teams opened their season on Saturday at the University of Nebraska Kearney annual indoor track meet, competing against other Class C and a handful of Class B teams.

The Bobcats brought home a host of medals while competing against much bigger teams such as Hastings High School and Ord High School, as well as local rivals Sandhills/Thedford and Hyannis.

Senior Talli Martin earned a gold medal in the 1-mile run with a time of 5:54.57. Bringing home third-place honors was junior Charli Vickers in the 55-meter hurdles with a time of 9.95 seconds. The girls 4x800 relay also earned a bronze medal with a time of 11:31.81 - those running included sophomores Ella Cool and Ivy Tullis and seniors Martin and Ava Pandorf.

Junior Cache Gracey hit the gas and brought home the gold in the 400-meters with a time of 53.40 seconds; and was the lead-off runner for the first-place winning

4x400 relay. The relay team, made up of Gracey, Dylan Pandorf, Logan Recoy, and Silas Cool, was nearly 4 seconds faster than the second-place finishers with a time of 3:44.31.

Thrower Rio Remund rocketed the shot put into first place with a distance of 48’7.5”.

The 4x800 relay team came in second place, a half-second slower than the gold medal finishers, with a time of 9:08.20. Runners included Silas Cool, Logan Recoy, Trey Connell, and Paxton Bierman.
