The FC Sacred Heart boys continued their dominating start to the track season as the Irish claimed their fourth team championship of the season last Tuesday at the Lewiston Invitational held in Pawnee City.
The Irish accumulated 92 points to edge second place Wilber-Clatonia and third place Freeman by just seven and eight points, respectively.
Senior Clay Finck sprinted to a first-place finish in the 100-meter dash with a time of 11.3 seconds, just ahead of Freeman’s Derek Zimmerman, who ran a time of 11.5. Junior Yianni Haralabidis finished third in the 100 with his time of 11.8.
Junior Sean Strasheim claimed the only other individual top-finish for FCSH with his gold in the pole vault. Strasheim’s vault of 12 feet, 10 inches bested sophomore Ben Railsback of Humboldt-TR-S by six inches. Senior Matt Mullins and sophomore Sawyer Kean were third and fourth, respectively, in the pole vault.
The Irish relay teams nabbed two firsts and fourth place finish. The 400 relay team of Finck, Haralabidis, Chaz Dunn and Lane Barnhill took gold with a time of 45.8; as did the 1600-meter team of Dunn, Haralabidis, Kean and Barnhill, who were more than a second faster than Wilber-Clatonia. The 3200-meter team of Henry Arnold, Austin Malone, Zavan Kirkendall and Thomas Froeschl took home a fourth-place finish.
Dunn, a junior, finished second to Sterling’s Trey Trauernicht in the 800 and was sixth in the long jump; Barnhill, a senior, earned third place in the 400; senior Will Burenheide was fourth in the 110-meter hurdles.

On the ladies’ side, Freeman cruised to the championship with a convincing team total of 134. Wilber-Clatonia was second with 81 points, followed by Omaha Christian Academy with 59 and FC Sacred Heart with 51.5 points.
Individually, the Lady Irish were led by freshman Maggie Goltz, who earned gold in the triple jump (31-05.5), bronze in the long jump (13-10.5) and was fifth in the 400-meter dash. Sophomore Elizabeth Magdanz took home silver in the pole vault with height of 7 feet, 6 inches; sophomore Kelsi Fouraker was third in the 800; sophomore Abby Magdanz took home fifth in the pole vault; senior Toni Kean was sixth in the 100 meters; senior Kathryn Bieker claimed the final medal in the 3200-meter run and sophomore Emily Rohrer was sixth in the discus.
