The Canby/Minneota girls track team celebrates their Camden Conference championship last Thursday in Tracy.

C/M girls rule Camden meet again

Capture conference championship for 5th straight year; boys finish second

The Canby/Minneota girls' track and field dominated the Camden Conference on Thursday in Tracy, winning their fifth straight title by over 100 points.
The C/M boys finished a close second to Lakeview, 105 to 100. Tracy-Milroy-Balaton was a close third with 98 points.
The C/M girls won nine of the 17 events (there was no 4 x 800 relay) en route to continuing their dominance in the conference. They were also favored to win in 2020 but the meet was not held due to the pandemic. They amassed 174 points to 71 for runner-up Central Minnesota Christian School. MACCRAY/Renville County West was third with 70 points.
"We are super proud of both squads," said head coach Sara Hemish. "The senior girls finish their careers undefeated in the conference meet."
Grace Drietz broke the conference record in the 400 with a winning time of 59.95, shattering the old mark of 1:00.54 set by Lauren Beukelman of Canby in 2009.
The C/M 4 x 200 relay team of RyAnn Hansen, Aidyn Bruns, Karlie Wollum and Natalie Stoks set a new conference record with a time of 1:49.87, topping the old mark of 1:50.1 set in 1984 by Milroy.
Dreitz also won the 800 in 2:22.17. Other winners for C/M was Claire Stoks in the 1600 in 5:40.85 and also the 3200 in 12:39.06, Braelyn Merritt in the 300 hurdles in 49.19, Mackenzie Janiszeski in the discus with a toss of 102-7, and Aidyn Bruns in the high jump at 4-11.
Besides the 4 x 200 relay, the girls also won the 4 x 400 relay with Hansen, Elysa Wollum, Merritt and Drietz.
The Canby/Minneota boys won only two of the events, but finished second in five others.
Blake Stoks won the 800 run in 2:06.90, and Trevor Gray won the high jump with a leap of 6-5.
