MINSTER — The Minster Wildcat track and field program dominated the area’s Division III district track meet once again — the girls team by running away from the competition and the boys team by escaping by a sliver.
The Wildcat girls compiled 128 points, outdistancing second place Marion Local, who collected 72 points.
The Minster boys won the meet by 2.5 points over New Bremen a week after coming up second to the Cardinals at the Midwestern Athletic Conference meet. The Wildcats had 99.5 points to New Bremen’s 97 points.
Boys Top Four Finishers
While Minster eclipsed the competition on the scoreboard, New Bremen’s Scott Schnelle was soaring above the high jump bar.
Schnelle came up just one half inch short of the boys high jump record on Saturday, but the 6-foot-7 Cardinal athlete did clear 6-6 to take first place and move onto the Dayton regional later this week.
“That ties my personal record,” Schnelle said. “My legs were getting tired towards the end.”
And Schnelle like having a fellow jumper pushing him. Gray Horn of Waynesfield-Goshen cleared 6-4 on Saturday.
“Gray is good competition,” Schnelle said. “We root each other on. We meet four or five times per season.”
Horn edged out Bryce Bergman of New Bremen in the 110 meter hurdles.
