D-1 District Track & Field Meet Postponed Until Tomorrow

The D-1 district track and field meet in Auburn, which will feature Dorchester and several other local Class D school, has been moved from today until tomorrow, May 13, due to wet conditions.

According to Crete News reporter B.J. Fictum, the field events will begin at 10 a.m., while running events will start at 1 p.m.

Much local attention will be focused on DHS senior Karmen Lawver, who won gold medals at the state meet last year in both the discus and shot put. She is currently ranked near the top of all female discus participants throughout the state, regardless of school size. Lawver's top throw this year is 134-8.

The district meet tomorrow will determine which DHS tracksters advance to the state track and field meet, which will be held the fourth weekend of this month. (UPDATE: DHS' Karmen Lawver earned another trip to the state championship when she captured first place in the D-1 district's shot put event, with a toss of 37-10.25, and the discus throw, with a throw of 132-0. The state championship track and field meet will be held May 21-22, 2010
at Omaha Burke Stadium in Omaha.)

  1. DHS students need to do better. Did anyone else see that our school placed last in both the girls and boys teams for the district competition. Our kids need to be held to higher standards.

  2. Winning is not everything.. Let them have fun.. That is why so many kids think they are better and they are cocky.. Serious lay off and give them a break..

  3. Track has been down for many years, but it seems like no onc cares.

    If it was football or wrestling, things would be happening

  4. Did any other kids even place. There is more to a team than just first place winners.
