The North Platte Bulldogs boys and girls track & field teams competed in the A-2 District Meet at Omaha Bryan High School on Wednesday and combined to qualify 14 athletes for the state meet.
The North Platte boys finished fourth overall as a team with 67 points. Millard North won the district with 147 points, Omaha Burke was second with 95.5, and Lincoln Southeast placed third with 71.5. The Lady Dawgs placed sixth out of the eight schools competing. North Platte scored 33 points in the meet. Lincoln Pius X won the girls meet with 149 points, Millard North finished second with 130, and Omaha Burke rounded out the top three with 96 points.
The Bulldogs boys were led by three district champions and two double qualifiers in the meet. Senior Evan Lamphear continued his dominant season by going 14 feet in the Pole Vault to place first. The Dawgs qualified two more pole vaulters with sophomore Kylan Rhodes placing second and junior Branden Hansen tying for fourth. The second district champion on the day was Chase Hohnholt in the Discus Throw. The senior threw 152-0 to win the meet and advance to state. North Platte added a second discus thrower at state as junior Trevor Lee placed fourth. The third district champion is Nebraska’s Gatorade Cross Country Runner of the Year, Wyatt McGuire. McGuire placed first in the 1600 Meter Run with a time of 4:31.82.
The two double qualifiers for North Platte are McGuire in the 1600 Meter Run and the 3200 Meter Run and junior Jacob Zimbelman. Zimbelman placed fourth in the Long Jump and qualified with three other Dawgs in the 400 Meter Relay. The rest of the relay team consists of junior Austin Chitty, freshman Trevon Weaver and senior Alec Wesslund. The NPHS Boys Track twitter account was very complimentary of the two double qualifiers.
The North Platte Bulldogs girls track team qualified four individuals for the state meet, all in field events. Senior Tori Kurth led the way by tying for first in the Pole Vault with a height of 9-2. Junior Rachel Kosmacek will join her in that event after tying for fourth. Junior Kaitlynn Harvey was also crowned as a district champion by placing first in the Long Jump. Harvey recorded a jump of 16-3.25. Sophomore Hope Wilke was the final qualifier for North Platte. Wilke didn’t place in the top four in the Discus Throw at districts but the NSAA allows additional qualifiers in Class A if they throw over 114′ 9″. The A-2 District qualified four additional girls in the Discus Throw, including Wilke. She finished sixth in the district with a personal record throw of 120 feet 3 inches.
