The top three teams would have accounted for each win in Saturday’s Central Wisconsin Conference-10 girls track and field meet in Plainfield, if not for Marion High School’s Cassidy Detert.
She broke through for two record-setting wins in field events as Rosholt, Wild Rose and Tri-County battled for the team win. Wild Rose (205) finished with the win, followed by Rosholt (161) in second and Tri-County (129.5) in third. Those three teams split all the meet’s event wins outside of Detert’s two victories.
Detert crushed the field in the discus, finishing at 134 feet, 5 inches and over 20 feet ahead of second-place Brea Yenter (111-10). Detert also dominated the shot put, finishing at 43-3 and nearly 10 feet ahead of second-place Yenter (34-9). Both of Detert’s marks put her atop the all-time conference list in each event.
Marion added a fourth-place finish in the shot put by Patty Ghent (32-11). Beyond the success for Marion in those events, top-five finishes were rare for those not in the team title race.
Mercedes Waupoose (1 minute, 10.95 seconds) earned fifth place for Menominee Indian in the 400-meter run, for the Eagles’ best finish of the meet.
Gresham-Bowler’s 800 relay team of Kendra Rickert, Crista Peters, Shannon Caskey and Emma Lau finished fifth in 2:21.41. Lau, Rickert, Peters and Tatelyn Ferguson also were fifth in the 1,600 relay at 5:46.45. Winter DeRoos (4-4) added a fifth-place finish in the high jump for the Panthers.
