The Charger boys' track team claimed their first team win of the season when it topped the field at the West Central Valley Wildcat Relays last Thursday. ACGC came up with 127 points to claim the title, with CAM finishing second with 106 points.

The Chargers' distance duo of seniors Clay Billheimer and Noah Nelson took care of business as they claimed the top two spots in the 800 meters and the 1600 meters. Billheimer won the 800 in 2:12.16 with Nelson close behind at 2:13.98. The tables were turned in the 1600 meter run with Nelson claiming the gold in 4:48.87 and Billheimer taking the silver in 4:49.16, edging out the third place finisher by less than two seconds.

Two relay teams also claimed the gold. The distance medley team of Austin Wierick, Dylan Soper, Gabe Rowley, and Charlie Crawford crossed the finish line in 4:03.20. The 3200 meter relay also claimed top honors with a time of 9:03.55. Gabe Rowley and Charlie Crawford ran the first two legs, with Nelson and Billheimer running the third spot and anchor respectively.

Meanwhile...the girls turned in some good performances as well to claim the runner up spot with 130 points, second to Van Meter's 175. Van Meter won the title with remarkable performances in the relay events. The Bulldogs won seven of eight relays, with ACGC claiming the eight relay.

Kate Crawford continues to dominate the distance events, as she swept all three long distance events. The Charger junior took the 800 meter run in 2:31.88, the 1500 meters in 5:16.00, and the 3000 meters in 11:30.07. Lauryn Embleton's two second place finishes gave the Chargers a sweep of the 1500 and 3000 meter runs. She ran 1500 and 3000 meters in 5:52.15 and 12:29.51 respectively. Embleton also claimed the bronze in the 800 meters with a time of 2:47.05. There is little doubt that both the Charger boys and girls have some of the top distance runners in west central Iowa.

As if three individual gold medals weren't enough, Crawford also anchored the 1600 medley relay to victory in a time of 4:42.46. Reagan Rumelhart ran the lead leg, with Savana Fuller and Audrey Stowe running second and third and Crawford on the anchor.

Madison McDermott also had an all gold medal day, as she swept the weight events. McDermott won the discus with a toss of 112'4" and the shot put with a put of 35'3.25".

The Charger teams will be back in action tomorrow (Tuesday), when they will travel to Audubon for a meet scheduled to begin at 4:30.
