The Hartington facility will play host to both the Class C and Class D District track meets this week.

The Class D meet will be held on Wednesday, May 13. The Class C meet will take place the next day. Wausa High School is hosting the Class D3 meet. Hartington-Newcastle will host the Class C4 District meet.

Wednesday’s meet will include teams from: Wausa, Wynot, Randolph, Archangels Catholic, Bancroft-Rosalie, GACC, Howells-Dodge, Lyons-Decatur, Osmond, Scribner-Snyder, Walthill and Winside. Thursday’s meet will feature teams from: Cedar Catholic, Hartington-Newcastle, Homer, Laurel-Concord-Coleridge, Omaha Nation, Pender, Ponca, Tri County Northeast, Wakefield and Winnebago.

The Braves took advantage of their home turf and outlasted Cedar by two strokes, 312 to 314.

Norfolk Catholic was third at 316 which makes next week’s district tournament intriguing as all three teams will meet in the C-3 District Golf Championships on May 18 at Fairplay Golf Course outside of Norfolk.

Will Brockhaus of Norfolk Catholic won medalist honors after firing a 70 with Cedar's Memphis Ulrich right on his heels at 73.

Toby Heine was fourth with a 76 for the Trojans while Mav Heine and Landyn Keiser were 14th and 15th respectively after posting 82 and 83.

Langston Christiansen was just one shot back as Cedar appears to be playing its best golf at the right time.

Battle Creek won the boys’ division of the meet while Columbus Scotus took the girls’ title. “We competed well today,” said Cedar Catholic coach Blair Kalin. “We’re aiming towards districts so we don’t want to wear anyone out or aggravate a problem or injury. I thought we still ran hard in the events we were in.”

The middle distances, the throws, the relays and the jumps are where the Trojans gained some ground for their second-place finish.

Kighter Wortmann and Hunter Kuchta were their normal 1-2 punch in the 800 grabbing first and second.

Jared Rutar and Graham Potts finished 1-2 in the discus and 3-4 in the shot put. Easton Hochstein was second in the triple jump and fifth in the long jump, Brady Hochstein was third in the long jump and Landon Rutar was fourth in the triple jump.

Blake Bensen and Micah Cattau each placed fifth, Bensen in the high jump and Cattau in the pole vault.

Nolan Heimes was third in both the hurdle races and Joseph Brown was third in the 1,600-meter run.

The Trojans were second in the 1,600 (Grady Haberer, Myles Baller, Landon Rutar, Brayden Fischer) sprint medley relay and the 1,600 (Mason Baller, Kuchta, Wortmann and Cooper Hochstein) relay.

The 400-meter squad of Booker Hochstein, Cooper Hochstein, Cattau and Mason Baller placed third.

The Lady Trojans were a bit short-handed but still managed to compete. The 1,600 sprint medley relay team of Mara Bernecker, Shayla Heine, Evie Freeman and Brynn Bernecker won the event and the 400-meter foursome of Freeman, Brynn Bernecker, Heine and Landry Heimes was fourth.

Calley Stewart was second in the triple jump and Madison Eickho was fourth in the 3,200-meter run.

Both teams are set for the district meet which will be held May 14 in Hartington.

The Wildcats played in the Battle Creek Invitational on May 7 ending up seventh after shooting a team total of 366 and placed fifth in the Greater Northeast Activities Conference earlier in the week carding a 362.

Kayne Gratzfeld brought home some hardware from Battle Creek after posting a 79 over 18 holes which placed him in the top 10 at eighth.

Norfolk Catholic’s Will Brockhaus shot the low round of the tournament with a 70, Memphis Ulrich of Cedar Catholic was second with a 73 and Calvin Wilmes of Creighton was third with a 75.

Carter Kelly was next for the ‘Cats with a 94, Lincoln Grutsch and Grady Lammers were 37th and 39th respectively with 96 and 97 while Austin Sudbeck brought home a 100.

The host Braves won the team title with a 312, Cedar Catholic was second at 314 and Norfolk Catholic was third at 316.

In the GNAC Tournament on May 5 in Atkinson, Hartington-Newcastle used the 362 for the fifth-place finish.

Gratzfeld and Kelly grabbed all conference designations with Gratzfeld finishing as the runner-up a 79, three strokes behind medalist Cole Lawless from Lutheran High Northeast.

Kelly placed 10th after firing an 86. “Overall we thought our kids competed very well in the conference tournament,” said HNS co-coach Mike Johnson. “Kayne had a really good day and finished as the individual runnerup for the second straight year in the conference tournament. Carter Kelly rebounded from a slow start and had a really good day.”

Lammers, Sudbeck and Grutsch shot 98, 99 and 100 respectively.

“For stretches we played some really good golf,” said Johnson. “Our biggest problem is that we have way too many ‘blow up’ holes. We need to do a better job of keeping those double bogeys to bogeys.”

Laurel-Concord-Coleridge won the team title by a single stroke over Lutheran High Northeast 342-343 to claim the Bears first GNAC golf title.

Cole Lawless was the individual champion for the Eagles with a 76.

The Wildcats headed to Randolph May 11 for an invitational then head to districts at Fairplay Golf Club in Norfolk on May 18.

Hartington-Newcastle’s Brayden Lammers charges down the track in recent competition, while the Wildcats’ Cameron Carl flies over the high jump. These two and the rest of the HNS track team will be trying to advance to next week’s State meet when the Wildcats host the District Track Meet at the Hartington Community Complex Thursday. Track teams from Cedar Catholic, Homer, Laurel-Concord-Coleridge, Omaha Nation, Pender, Ponca, Tri County Northeast, Wakefield and Winnebago will be in town competing for a State track berth.

Cedar Catholic finished with a 319, comfortably ahead of runnerup Elkhorn Valley (338) and Bloomfield (344), while holding off a tightly packed middle of the leaderboard that saw just 16 strokes separate second through sixth place.

The day belonged to Cedar’s Memphis Ulrich, who captured individual medalist honors with a sharp 74. Ulrich set the tone early and never let up, navigating the course with consistency to lead the Trojans from the front.

He wasn’t alone. Toby Heine delivered a strong round of 79 to place fifth overall, while Mav Heine followed closely with an 80 to finish sixth, giving Cedar three golfers inside the top six — a decisive edge in the team standings.

That depth proved to be the difference.

Langston Christensen added an 86 (17th), and Landyn Kaiser carded an 87 (21st) to round out Cedar’s scoring, sealing a balanced team effort that separated the Trojans from the pack.

Behind Cedar Catholic, Elkhorn Valley placed second at 338, followed by Bloomfield (344), Plainview (345) and Clarkson/ Leigh (349). Randolph and Laurel-Concord-Coleridge each posted 360, while Hartington-Newcastle finished 11th with a 384.

For Cedar Catholic, the formula was simple — a medalist at the top, three players near the front, and no wasted strokes in the scoring lineup.

Put it together, and it added up to another trophy for the Trojans.

WAYNE - Cedar Catholic used a first-place effort in the final event to tie Battle Creek for the Mid State Conference Track and Field title in the boys’ division at Wayne High School May 2.

The Trojans and Braves went back and forth all day before Cedar’s 1,600-meter relay team of Mason Baller, Hunter Kuchta, Kighter Wortmann and Cooper Hochstein used a 3: 29.57 effort in the event to tie Battle Creek, which finished fourth.

The same quartet in a different order ran to a conference title in the 3,200-meter relay to open the running session on the day after posting a 8:16.07 almost 15 seconds in front of runner-up, Ponca.

“It was kind of a mutual decision to start helping on the 3,200 relay,” said Baller, who also was third in the 100. “I started the season just sprinting but we had a solid team and I was willing to try it out and see if I could get a split and help them out a little bit. It’s working out, I’m not a big fan of running the 800, but if it helps the team, I’ll do it.”

Well, the decision must have been a good choice as Baller and company not only won the 3,200 relay, they broke the school record with a time of 8:16.07, .67 seconds ahead of the team of Carson Arens, Carson Noecker, Matthew Loecker and Nolan Becker who had the previous Cedar record of 8:16.74.

Jared Rutar added 20 points to the team total with wins in the shot put and discus.

He threw the shot 52-08 and hurled the discus 168-06.

Teammate Graham Potts was third in the discus with an effort of 151-07 and fourth in the shot with a throw of 48-feet even. Sam Wiebelhaus made it a 1-3-6 finish in the discus with a 134-11 toss that placed him sixth.

Cooper Hochstein also broke a school record with a 50.89 second-place finish in the 400 meters.

Kighter Wortmann added a secondplace finish in the 800 in 2:01.19, Nolan Heimes placed third in the 300-meter hurdles and fifth in 110-meter high hurdles.

Micah Cattau cleared 12-feet in the pole vault for fourth, Easton Hochstein was fifth in the triple jump and the 400-meter relay squad of Booker and Cooper Hochstein, Baller and Cattau circled the track once in 44.38 to place third.

The Lady Trojans finished ninth in the conference meet with 33 points.

Anisten Wortmann scored over half of the points herself winning the 100-meter dash in 12.36 and winning the 100-hurdles with a time of 14.78 to score 20 points.

Adelyn Reifenrath was second in the long jump with a best of 16-09 and Calley Stewart was fifth in the high jump after clearing the bar at 4-08.

Cedar Catholic’s 400-meter relay team of Evie Freeman, Brynn Bernecker, Shayla Heine and Landry Heimes covered the distance in 52.72 which was good enough for fourth place in the meet.

The Trojans and Lady Trojans will travel to Battle Creek for an invitational on May 7 before the district meet which is scheduled for May 14.

NORFOLK — Anisten Wortmann turned a strong showing into a record-breaking showcase in a matter of hours Thursday at the Norfolk Track and Field Classic at Johnny Carson Field.

The Cedar Catholic junior swept all four of her events, set three meet records and was named the Denny Fuehrer Outstanding Female Athlete.

“It means so much,” Wortmann said. “I wouldn’t be here without my teammates pushing me every day in practice. Ultimately, the glory goes to God because I wouldn’t be here without Him helping me with what I accomplished.”

Wortmann opened her day by winning the 100-meter hurdles in 14.22 seconds, breaking her own meet record from a year ago by nearly six-tenths of a second.

She followed that with another record performance in the 100-meter dash, sprinting to an 11.99 finish to top the previous mark of 12.20 set by former Lady Trojan Sara Reifenrath in 2019.

Wortmann wasn’t done.

She captured the 300 hurdles in 44.24, breaking a meet record that had stood since 1999, and capped her day with a win in the 200-meter dash in 25.05 — just 0.14 seconds shy of another record.

Area athletes added several strong finishes across both divisions.

Laurel-Concord-Coleridge’s Boston Brown placed third in both hurdle events behind Wortmann and added a third-place finish in the triple jump with a leap of 35-08.75. She also teamed with Kate Tasler, Carlie Kvols and Taelynn Settje to place fourth in the 1,600-meter relay.

Hartington-Newcastle’s Vayda Lippert finished fifth in the 1,600-meter run, while Wynot’s Maleah Heimes took sixth in the high jump, clearing 5-0.

On the boys side, LCC’s Drey Puppe delivered a record-setting performance of his own.

Puppe won the 110-meter high hurdles in 14.11 seconds to set a new meet record and added a third-place finish in the 300 hurdles.

“I really don’t think it has hit me yet that I have a record here,” Puppe said. “This was great, but I am not where I want to be yet. I’ll go back to work and keep getting better.”

Cedar Catholic’s Jared Rutar also had a big day in the field events, sweeping both the shot put and discus.

He recorded a throw of 49-5 in the shot and 167-4 in the discus. Teammate Graham Potts added a sixthplace finish in the discus. Hartington-Newcastle’s Will Feilmeier placed second in the 200-meter dash in 23.10 and added a fourth-place finish in the 100 at 11.05.

Cedar Catholic’s Mason Baller took fifth in the 200, while teammates Kighter Wortmann and Hunter Kuchta placed third and fourth, respectively, in the 800.

In the relays, Cedar Catholic’s 3,200-meter team of Kuchta, Baller, Cooper Hochstein and Wortmann claimed the title in 8:22.34. The Trojans’ 1,600 relay team — with the same runners in a different order — finished fourth.

Hartington-Newcastle’s 400 relay team of Aiden Walter, Mason Krause, Maximus McCray and Feilmeier placed fourth in 44.53, just ahead of Cedar Catholic’s team of Booker Hochstein, Cooper Hochstein, Bailer and Micah Cattau, which finished fifth in 44.56.

The Wildcats were led by Kayne Gratzfeld, who tied for medalist honors with a 39 before finishing second after a scorecard playoff.

Plainview captured the team title with a 182, while Randolph placed second with a 183, edging Bloomfield on a tiebreaker. Hartington- Newcastle finished sixth with a team score of 192.

“Overall we were fairly pleased with how well our kids handled the adverse conditions,” Johnson said. “When it rains like that, it’s really hard to grip your clubs. Our kids competed to the best of their abilities.”

Austin Sudbeck followed Gratzfeld with a 49, Carter Kelly added a 51, Grady Lammers shot a 53 and Lincoln Grutsch rounded out the scoring with a 55.

The Trojans edged Pierce 109-105 to win the Pierce meet, powered by a dominant showing in the relays. Cedar Catholic’s 1,600-meter relay team of Mason Baller, Hunter Kuchta, Kighter Wortmann and Cooper Hochstein won in 3:35.07, while the same group claimed the 3,200 relay in 8:26.59.

“Our relays have been running very well this season,” coach Blair Kalin said. “They are very solid.”

The Trojans also picked up key points in the throws, where Jared Rutar won the discus (161-9) and placed second in the shot put, while Graham Potts was runner-up in the discus and fourth in the shot.

On the track, Kighter Wortmann finished second in the 800, Hunter Kuchta placed third in the same event and Cooper Hochstein added a third-place finish in the 400. Nolan Heimes was second in the 300 hurdles and third in the 110 hurdles.

Cedar Catholic followed that performance with a dominant showing at Laurel, winning the LCC Invitational with 136 points.

The Trojans again leaned on their depth, highlighted by their relays. The

400 relay team (Cooper Hochstein, Mason Baller, Booker Hochstein, Micah Cattau) won in 44.06. The 1,600 relay also won with a 3:28.60 and the 3,200 relay finished second to Ponca.

Individually, Cooper Hochstein won the 400 (51.29), while Brady Hochstein placed second in the 100 and third in the 200. Joe Bowen and Jeffrey Heine added a 2-3 finish in the 1,600, and Easton Hochstein captured the triple jump (41-5).

The Lady Trojans placed fourth at the Wausa meet and fourth again at Laurel, led by a standout day from Anisten Wortmann, who won the 100,

400, 100 hurdles and 300 hurdles at Pierce.

With the postseason approaching, Kalin said the focus remains simple.

“We’ve kept improving across the board,” he said. “That’s what we need to do — just keep getting better.”

Backer broke school records in both the triple jump and long jump, a rare double that underscored her emergence as one of the area’s top field event athletes.

In the triple jump, Backer soared 34-06.5 to eclipse the previous mark of 34-05. She followed that with another standout effort in the long jump, reaching 16-05 to top the former record of 16-04.75.

Both records had stood for decades. The long jump mark of 16-04.75 was set in 1979 by Kelly Lackas, while the triple jump record had been on the books since 2001, when Sheila Korth established the previous standard.

“Abbey’s drive to improve has been incredible,” Randolph coach Keri Severson said.

“Coach Kneifl and myself felt like our kids took a step forward at this meet,” said Wildcat co-coach Mike Johnson. “Overall we played fairly well. We will continue to work on our short games and becoming more consistent around the greens.”

Cedar Catholic won the team title after carding a 324, Laurel-Concord-Coleridge was second at 347 and Ponca was third with a 353.

The Wildcats posted a 362. Kayne Gratzfeld finished one stroke out of the medals firing an 85 for 12th place with teammate Carter Kelly just a shot back at 86.

Austin Sudbeck recorded a 94 for 40th place, Lincoln Grutsch shot a 97 for 44th and Grady Lammers came in with a 98 which placed him 47th.

“Right now the area we need to improve the most on is our approach shots,” Johnson said. “We’re not hitting a lot of greens in regulation right now, if we can improve on that we can make that next step as a team.”

The Wildcats are set to return to the course at the Osmond Invitational at Rolling Hills Golf Club on April 25 then play in the Cedar Catholic Invitational on April 28.

Rutar eclipsed the previous school record in the discus of 163-, 06 set by Jaxson Bernecker.

He let loose on a heave of 17002 and is possibly soon to break his own record.

“When I let go of it, it definitely didn’t feel like I imagined, a record breaking throw to feel like,” said Rutar. “To be honest it felt like all of my other throws. Granted I was breaking the record in warm ups and all I had to do was transfer it to actual competition.”

Seeing Bernecker get the record has been driving Rutar.

“Ever since I saw Jaxson break it, I knew I wanted it for myself,” he said. “As I kept practicing I held myself to it and now that I have it under my belt, my goal is to improve each and every meet until I’m at my very best.”

His coach noticed the effort. “He’s really been working hard to get it,” said Cedar Catholic coach Blair Kalin. “That was definitely his goal, I think he can improve it given the right day.”

The Trojans took the Laurel-Concord- Coleridge Invitational at Cedarview Country Club April 16 after carding a team total of 324 which was 23 strokes in front of runner-up LCC at 347.

Ponca was third with a 353 and Elkhorn Valley was one shot back at 354 for fourth.

It took an extra hole to decide the individual medalist and two players in the playoff were Trojans.

Mav Heine and Memphis Ulrich were tied with Tekamah-Herman’s Brody Haag after all three shot a 78 over 18 holes. Heine won the playoff hole to take the top honors, Haag finished second and Ulrich wound up third.

Cedar’s Landyn Keiser also brought home some hardware finishing sixth after firing an 81.

Toby Heine and Langston Christensen each carded an 87 to round out the Trojan scoring.

Cedar Catholic will continue its season on the road at the O’Neill Invitational on April 23, the Osmond Invite at Rolling Hills Golf Club on April 25 and a home triangular on April 27.“We definitely are not at peak potential yet,” said Kuehn. “But I’m happy with our progress thus far.”

The Wildcats piled up 104 points, trailing only host Cedar Catholic, which won the team title with 155. On the girls side, the Lady Wildcats finished seventh with 34 points, while Cedar Catholic claimed the championship with 110, followed by Wausa.

Leading the way for the Wildcats was sprinter Will Feilmeier, who put together one of the top individual performances of the meet. Feilmeier swept the sprints, winning the 100-meter dash in a personal-record time of 11.09 and taking the 200 in 23.23. He also anchored the gold-medal 400-meter relay team.

“I really felt good here today,” Feilmeier said. “I P.R.’ed in the 100 and won the 200 and we got it done in the relay, so I’m pretty happy. It felt good.”

Feilmeier teamed with Colter Feilmeier, Mason Krause and Aiden Walter to win the 400 relay in 45.30 giving the Wildcats another key boost in the team race.

Krause added to the Wildcats’ gold-medal haul in the field events, winning the long jump with a leap of 21-1.5. He also placed third in the triple jump, finishing just behind teammate Maximus McCray, who took second with a jump of 44-7.5. Krause recorded a best of 42-4, while McCray also contributed with a sixth-place finish in the 400 (58.59).

Walter added a fifth-place finish in the 200, while the Wildcats picked up valuable points across multiple events. Ty Opfer and Jason Heimes placed second and fifth in the pole vault, and Cameron Carl was fourth in the 110-meter hurdles while also taking sixth in the high jump. Brayden Lammers finished just ahead of Carl in the high jump standings, and Aidan Anderson added a sixthplace effort in the 3,200.

Distance runner Isaac Santiago delivered a strong double, placing second in the 1,600 in 5:03.86 and third in the 800 in 2:15.70.

The Wildcats also scored well in the relays. The 1,600-meter relay team of Walter, Trevon Hopping, Nathan Heimes and Opfer placed third in 3:55.49, while the 3,200 relay team of Lammers, Dylan Heikes, Gabriel Reyes and Christopher Kneifl finished fourth in 10:26.86.

On the girls side, Vayda Lippert paced the Lady Wildcats with a victory in the 3,200, crossing the line in 13:38.39. She also placed third in the 400 (1:02.57) and sixth in the 100 (13.44), accounting for a large share of the team’s points.

Ella Eickhoff added a strong all-around performance, placing third in the pole vault, fourth in the 300 hurdles and fifth in the 100 hurdles. Jade Ford placed fifth in the triple jump, and Karissa Bruning was sixth in the shot put.

Hartington-Newcastle returned to action Monday, hosting its own invitational. The Wildcats are scheduled to compete at the Summerland Invitational on April 28, followed by the Norfolk Classic on April 30.

The Trojans rolled to the boys team title with 155 points, easily outdistancing Hartington-Newcastle’s 104. On the girls side, the Lady Trojans totaled 110 points, finishing 18 points ahead of runner-up Wausa.

Cedar’s boys were powered by multiple individual champions and strong relay efforts. Kighter Wortmann led a 1-2-5 finish in the 800-meter run, winning in 2:01.93. Hunter Kuchta was second in 2:05.97 and Brayden Fischer placed fifth in 2:18.69.

Nolan Heimes swept the hurdles, winning the 110-meter highs in 15.77 seconds and the 300 hurdles in 43.54. Joe Bowen captured the 3,200-meter run in 11:13.17 and added a fourthplace finish in the 1,600, while teammate Jeff Heine was third in the 3,200 and sixth in the 1,600.

In the field events, Jared Rutar claimed gold in the discus with a throw of 161-11. Sam Wiebelhaus was third (137-08) and Graham Potts sixth (131-09). Rutar and Potts also added points in the shot put, finishing second and third, respectively.

Mason Baller recorded runner-up finishes in both the 100 (11.32) and 200 (23.54), while Myles Baller was second in the 400 in 56.85. Micah Cattau placed third in the pole vault (11-02) and Keaton Keiser was sixth (10-02).

The Trojans also found success in the relays. The 1,600-meter relay team of Mason Baller, Kuchta, Wortmann and Cooper Hochstein won in 3:36.61, while the 3,200 relay team of Kuchta, Bowen, Wortmann and Cooper Hochstein took first in 8:29.01.

On the girls side, Anisten Wortmann delivered a standout performance, winning four individual titles. She swept the hurdles with victories in the 100 (14.46) and 300 (45.56), and also claimed gold in the 100 (12.18) and 200 (25.22).

Brynn Bernecker added a win in the 800 (2:40.41), with Madison Eickhoff placing third in 2:47.42. Eickhoff and Isabel Rolfes went 1-2 in the 1,600, finishing just over two seconds apart.

In the field events, Calley Stewart placed second in the triple jump (34-01) and fourth in the high jump (4-10). Shayla Heine was third in the triple jump, finishing just a half-inch behind Stewart.

Danielle Eickhoff and Kinleigh Kramer tied in the pole vault at 7-08, finishing fifth and sixth with Eickhoff placing higher on fewer misses.

Cedar also scored in the relays, with the 1,600 team of Brynn Bernecker, Mara Bernecker, Evie Freeman and Madison Eickhoff placing second in 4:34.84. The 400 relay team of Freeman, the Bernecker sisters and Heine finished third in 54.50.

“I was kind of nervous in the beginning, but once the first lap was done it felt good the rest of the way,” said Eickhoff. “I really like the 1,600, if you would have asked me last year I definitely would have said the 800, but the 1,600 is kind of new to me. I like to do new things, I like the challenge.”

Cedar Catholic took part in the LCC meet Tuesday. The Trojans will also travel to Pierce on April 23 and to the Ponca Invitational on April 28.
