he Maple Lake High School track and field team will send one relay team and two individuals to the State Track and Field meet on Thursday, June 6 at the St. Michael-Albertville High School.
Advancing is Alan Haglin in the 300-meter hurdles, Alex Kiebel in the long jump and the 4×200 relay team of Kiebel, Reese Hartkopf, Avery Lee and Sydney Breimon.
Alex Kiebel was the first to earn a state berth when she hit the qualifying mark in the long jump prelims Wednesday morning, May 29 at the Section 5A Championships at St. John’s University. To go on, Kiebel had to beat the state standard of 16-feet, 10-inches or finish in the top two. She made short work of it by surpassing the standard in the preliminary round. With the pressure off, she went on to claim runner-up in the finals with a leap of 16-feet, 10.25 inches.
