Great job to those girls - Trinity Hicks, Brooke Zeibert, Addi Schmedeke, and Colleen Zeibert. After a 2 hour rain delay, Brooke and Colleen competed in the 800 M. Both ran PR’s and both earned medals. Brooke placed 9th with a time of 2:22.0 and Colleen placed 2nd with a time of 2:13.83 - breaking her own school record from 2021 State.
