Ridge View boys qualify for state track meet in several events

The Ridge View boys track and field squad competed well in the state qualifying meet at Holstein on Friday. Kolton Luscombe won the discus competition with a throw of 154 feet 11 inches, qualifying him for the state meet. Brody Deitering placed third in the 400 meter dash with a time of 52.40 seconds, good enough to secure one of the eight at-large bids for the state track meet. Ridge View’s 4x800 team of Tracin Price, Jake Breyfogle, Kyler Wunschel, and Travis Wiese placed third with a season-best time of 8:37.00. That effort also qualified them for an at-large spot at the state meet.
