MILBANK – Morgan Fiedler set the pace for the Aberdeen Roncalli girls’ track and field squad during the Valley Queen Cheese Invitational in Milbank on Tuesday.

The junior won the long jump and triple jump, ran a leg on the winning 400-meter relay team, and also ran a strong anchor on the 1,600-meter relay team that finished second.

“Morgan was about 25-30 meters behind the first place team and she just about got her,” said Roncalli coach Mark Stone. “It was really a fun race.”

The Cavaliers focused on a pair of relays and it produced results.

“Both the girls and boys in the 4X1 and 4X4 both ran really well today,” Stone said. “We were pretty excited about those.”

Jayden Munroe, who just started triple jumping recently, won the event. Stone said he also was solid on the track.

“Jayden had a really nice day. He was on the track for us in a couple of relays. He can really go,” Stone said. “He’s just learning that he can be successful in this sport. He is starting to put things together a little bit.”

Roncalli also received a win from Paige Schmidt in the 1,600-meter run with her sister in third.

“Paige ran a really nice 1,600 and not far behind her was Sarah,” Stone said. “I know that’s a PR for both those girls.”

Bennett Schwenn of Milbank Area won the 100, 200, long jump and ran a leg on the winning 1,600-meter relay squad. Hamlin’s Gracelyn Leiseth won the shot put and discus, and Vanessa Klein of Tri-State won the 200 and 400.

Roncalli will compete in the Sisseton Twilight meet on Friday. Stone said he used Tuesday’s meet as a chance to experiment with a few things as the season is fast winding to a close.

“We’re still kind of trying to find our way a little bit having missed a bunch of meets. We tried some different combinations, we tried some different things today both opens and relays,” he said. “We’re just trying to figure out where to put our athletes as it relates to our squads being successful as a team.”

Participating Teams: Aberdeen Roncalli, Britton-Hecla, Clark-Willow Lake, Dakota Hills, Florence-Henry, Great Plains Lutheran, Groton, Hamlin, Langford Area, Milbank Area, Sisseton, Tri-State, Warner, Waverly-South Shore, Webster.
