Ike boys track

DUKE CENTER – The Eisenhower boys track team split its season-opening tri-meet at Otto-Eldred on Tuesday, beating Allegany-Limestone, 75-71, and losing to host Otto, 69-77.

“Overall, on the track, we would have won both of the meets, but two-thirds of the team is new to the varsity team, and our inexperience is in the field,” said Ike coach Darlene Beach. “That’s something they are working on and it’s just going to take time.”

Noah VanHouten qualified for districts his first time out in winning the 300 hurdles in 43.1 seconds, and Jason Adams, Josh Eernisse, and Randy Buchanan also finished first overall in events. “Troy Myer and Jonah Sameulson, a couple of the freshmen, did well, too,” said Beach.
