Polk County athletes earned five top-three finishes Monday in the HOT Snowman indoor track and field meet at JDL Fast Track in Winston-Salem.
Lindsey Jenkins and Emma Brunell took second and third in the girls 500-meter dash, with Braxton Edwards placing third in the boys 500 meters. Madjson Geddings added a third in the pole vault and Alana Jergenson took third in the shot put.
Geddings’ vault of 8-0 and Jergenson’s throw of 30-11 both were good enough to serve as qualifying marks for next month’s state 2A/1A indoor track and field championships, also at JDL.
