At the end of the night, the MCC girls would come out on top while the boys would place 4th.

Sophia Nelson and Bakke placed second and fourth in the 800 while seventh grader Holland Vogel had a great debut placing fifth in the 1600.
In the sprints, Brealyn Damm won the 100 hurdles in her first time running them while Lindsey Hause placed second in the 300 hurdles. Brylei Schreier won the 400 in dominating fashion while the 4x200 relay placed 3rd. Those team members included Brealyn Damm, Courtney Gengler, Abby Overman and Sophia Nelson.
In the field events, Damm also won the long jump and Hause was 4th in the high jump. Abby Overman was the runner up in the triple jump. Throwers Callie Platt and Erica Doeden placed third and fourth respectively in the discus.
On the boys side, hurdlers Ashton Kalas and Ben Ahlers both went one-two in the 110 and 300 hurdle races, scoring some big points for the Rebels. Alex Betz was a double placer finishing sixth in both the 400 and 1600 running in personal best times. Eighth grader Wesley Hause had a fine performance in the 3200 as he placed 5th.
Each of the three relay teams placed 5th in their races. The 4x100 relay team consisted of Thomas Huso, Luke Iverson, Griffin Braun and Carson Engelkes. Englekes was joined with Jackson Schroeder, Carter Knakmuhs and Dylan Doeden in the 4x200.
