PENDER - The Laurel-Concord-Coleridge Lady Bear track and field team completed a busy and very successful week at the Pender Invitational on Apr. 10 edging out Tekamah-Herman for the big plaque 88-87 after taking the title in the Knox County Invitational on Apr. 8 in Creighton.

Brown won the 100-meter hurdles, the 300-meter hurdles and placed second in the triple jump with a best of 35-feet, 10.5-inches.
Settje was second in the 100 and 200 in 13.23 seconds and 27.43 second respectively and circled the track once in the 400 meters in 1:03.91 for third.
