OBERLIN -- Decatur Community (Oberlin) and McCook St. Pats competed in the Oberlin Junior High track meet last Thursday.

Oberlin's seventh grade girls finished fifth and the eighth grade girls were third.

St. Pats seventh and eighth grade girls were both sixth.

St. Pats boys seventh and eighth grade boys both finished fifth.

Oberlin's eighth grade boys were second and the seventh graders were sixth.

Emily Tolliver led the St. Pats girls. Tolliver won the seventh grade 1600 meter run in 6 minutes and 15.69 seconds.

"Our girls did very well," said St. Pats' coach Jim Steinke. "We had some seventh grade standouts, which always gets you excited for strength in the next years track team.

"Our eighth grade continued to prove strong competitors and did an excellent job for the Knights.

"All season our sixth and seventh graders have competed in the shadows, but today came into the light by showing a very strong presence on the track. It has been a great season and all of our girls have continued to improve and give 100 percent.

Kyle Gaston finished first in the high jump with a jump of 4 feet, 10 inches for the Knights.

"Our boys ran and competed very well for our last meet of the season with many personal records," Steinke said.

"Our neighbors to the south were tough competition and had some very strong athletic performances.

"Our St. Pats boys have steadily worked hard and have always given 100 percent efforts in practice and at meets.

"Those who haven't had a chance to score have continued to improve all season and show promise for next year's track team. I am very proud of everyone's efforts all season."
