Northeast Nodaway's girls took 5th at the Bulldog Relays as Jacqueline Schulte kept her unbeaten streak alive in both the 1600 and 3200 as she has not lost in these two events this year. She survived her toughest challenge yet in the Mile as she began the first of a series of duels with DeKalb's McKenzie Reagan. Reagan had just recently added the 1600 and had gone 5:42 in a previous meet; she is the defending state champion in the 800. Schulte and Reagan went stride for stride for 3 3/4 laps with Jacqueline breaking out to a lead and making it stand up with Reagan just a few strides behind. Finally, on the final turn, the DeKalb coach told Reagan to make her move, but it was Jac who made her move instead, gaining some separation from Reagan and winning with a personal best time of 5:35.79, nearly three seconds ahead of Reagan.
Schulte continued her dominance in the 3200, where she has not been seriously challenged as she beat out DeKalb's Jordan Killoren by over two minutes with a time of 12:33.06.
Michelle Schulte was fourth in the High Jump with a jump of 4'6"; she would then go on to win the Long Jump with a personal best jump of 15'7". She beat out Shanna Welch of Jefferson by three quarters of an inch for the win after Welch had beaten her for much of the year.
Jacqueline Schulte, who had been struggling against the 32-foot barrier in the Triple Jump, finally got in a jump of 31'11 1/2", just short of her mark at Albany and showed that her performance was no accident. That was good enough for third place behind North Harrison's Rachel Thomsen and Welch of Jefferson.
McKenzie Reagan, the defending state champion in the 800, had little competition in beating out Michelle Schulte in that event; Schulte had just as little competition for second place as she finished with a time of 2:36.70 and beat out her third place finisher by over 13 seconds.
