Sweet Home opened its 2014 track and field schedule Friday, March 21, with a three-way dual meet with Lebanon and Central in Independence.
The Huskies were missing some of their athletes, thanks to spring break, but the girls finished just behind Central (62) and Lebanon (61) in a tight team race, with 58 points.
The girls team competition came down to the final event, the 4×400 relay, in which Sweet Home had the lead going into the final leg but Central freshman Abby McBeth, who had just completed a blistering 3000 (10:44.75), outran the Huskies Jordan Miller to put the Panthers on top.
The boys were well behind Lebanon (73) and Central (70) with 32 points.
Jakob Hiett was a double winner for Sweet Home in the 1500 (4:15.00) and the 3000 (9:13.05), leaving the competition well behind in both events. The boys 4×100 relay team also won, as did senior Ben Terry in the shot, throwing 43-5½.
For the girls, winners were Haley Kent in the 200 (28.76), Miller in the 800 (2:49.11), Nicole Ramussen in the 1500 (5:26.80), Courtney Kent in the 300 hurdles (51.72), Josie Knight in the shot put (31-10) and Kaitlyn Watts in the discus (90-4).
The Huskies will host the Sweet Home Decathlon and Heptathlon Friday and Saturday, starting at 10 a.m.
