The Warrior boys scored 82 points and took second in the Quint.

Hugh Steffen was fourth in the 400 in 1:04.45 and Luke Hamm was fifth in the shot put with 35-10.5.

The Warrior girls scored 38 points and finished third. Madison Glaeser led the way by winning the 1,600 in 5:53.21 and taking third in the 800 in 2:43.73.

“Madison had a great meet. She broke the six-minute barrier in the 1,600 for the first time in her career and also set a new personal record in the 800 run by seven seconds,” Pfeuffer said. “She is starting to find her stride and is progressing well her sophomore year.”

Paige Kurlinski won the shot put with 38-2 and was fourth in the discus with 92-5.

“We were happy to see solid efforts by our athletes and we enjoyed watching athletes try new events as well,” co-coach Jamie Brill said.

Lentz coming on strong for Ozaukee

Lentz won the discus with 139-10 and was second in the shot put with 43-5.5.

“Jack Lentz has been off to a great start of his sophomore year with top-three finishes in every meet so far this year in shot put and placing first in discus in his first two outdoor meets,” Pfeuffer said. “He has really put in the work on his throws for many years and you are starting to see that pay off with some far throws and high finishes.”

Mueller won the long jump with 18-10.5. Utecht won the pole vault with 9-3 and Schubert won the 3,200 in 10:27.

“Nick Schubert ran a strong 3,200 where he took the lead from the gun and never looked back. He is starting to get the hang of the 3,200, and I think he can drop some more time as he progresses through the season,” Pfeuffer said.

Mueller was second in the high jump at 5-10 and fourth in the triple jump with 40-3.5. Schueller was third in the 1,600 in 4:42.28 and in the 800 in 2:06.82.
