Mound City looks like it might be a team to beat on the boys side as they ran away with the meet with 151 points, over twice that of its nearest competitor. Bedford had 72, Worth County 61, Stanberry 61, Albany 56, Platte Valley 46, East Atchison 27, Winston 23, Nodaway Valley 21, North Andrew 20, South Harrison 16, King City 12, North Harrison 11, NEN 8, North Nodaway 3, and East Harrison 1.

For the girls, Emma Spencer was fourth in the 100 with a time of 14.11. Brooklyn Richardson was right behind her at fifth with a time of 14.19. Emma Spencer was sixth in the 200 with a time of 30.84. Riley Ridge was fifth in the 100 Hurdles with a time of 18.97.
The 4x100 that won state and broke a 39 year old record held by the 1984 Worth County squad has three of their four runners back, but has a big hole to fill with the graduation of Hailey Adwell. The team of Brooklyn Richardson, Keira Hardy, Rayleigh Smith, and Emma Spencer was third with a time of 54.22.
Riley Ridge matched a personal best and won the High Jump with a height of 1.55 meters. One of the closest races involving Worth County involved the Pole Vault. Eva Engel and Ava Barnes (Mound City) left the rest of the competition in the dust and both cleared 3.20 meters. Neither could clear 3.36, and neither had an advantage in tiebreaks, so they had to do a sudden death match to determine the winner. Eva Engel won with a height of 3.28 as she cleared it and Barnes couldn’t.

The team of Evan Schreiber, Landon Johnson, Noah Guy, and Lane Graham was sixth with a time of 1:49.50.
