Jacqueline Schulte Breaks Two PVC Marks

Jacqueline Schulte continued to add to her long list of accomplishments as her career at Northeast Nodaway winds down. She broke the Platte Valley Conference records for both the 1600 and 3200 as she got two first place finishes Monday at North Andrew. She added a second place in the Triple Jump and her 4x400 Relay Team got second as well.

In the 3200, Jacqueline's mark of 12:40 broke a record that had stood for 17 years as she was never seriously threatened. In the 1600, she continued her duel with McKenzie Reagan and won the third of her three races with her as she began to pull away from her at around 2 1/2 laps. She won with a time of 5:38. In the Triple Jump, she finished second behind Shanna Welch of Jefferson with a jump of 31'2". The 4x400 team of Katrina Freemeyer, Sarah Teaney, Jacqueline Schulte, and Michelle Schulte finished with a strong second behind Reagan and the DeKalb squad, who was never seriously challenged. Teaney led off the race and put on a strong showing near the end of the first leg to put Northeast into second. Freemeyer fell behind the Jefferson runner, but then put on a strong burst during the middle of her leg to shake her off; she then held off a strong challenge from the Stewartsville runner before handing off to Jacquline. Jacqueline and Michelle Schulte easily put distance on their Stewartsville rivals to claim the strong second place finish with a time of 4:46.

In other action, Michelle Schulte finished second in the 800 behind Reagan with a time of 2:39. She was second in the Long Jump, getting a jump of 14'5" on her last attempt after struggling with her takeoff on the previous attempt. She was also second in the High Jump with a leap of 4'8". Katrina Freemeyer placed in the Triple Jump for the first time all year, getting a jump of 27'5" to put her into sixth place. Sarah Teaney placed sixth in the 100 Hurdles.

On the boys side, Tyler Davis came up just short in his attempt to win the Discus, placing second with a throw of 105 feet. He was third in the Shot Put.
