The boys team collected several 1st place finishes. Senior Dylan Soper grabbed his first individual title of the season with a win in the 200 meter dash. He also finished 3rd in the 100 meter dash. Classmate Noah Nelsen also claimed another title in the 3200, finishing over 30 seconds ahead of 2nd place Garrett Buxton of Ogden. He also finished less than a second behind Nodaway Valley’s Josh Baudler in the 1600, coming in 2nd place. The other top finish for the ACGC boys went to junior Quynton Younker in the shot put. Classmate Sam Madsen was right behind Younker in 2nd. Other top three finishes for the boys included senior Clay Billheimer in the 800 (2nd) and the distance medley relay team (2nd).
