Dunn-St. Croix

Elmwood/Plum City and Spring Valley were in Mondovi for the Dunn-St. Croix Conference Championship on May 22, with the EPC girls leading the way with a second-place finish. The title all came down to the final race, but Boyceville secured the win with a 4x400 time of 4:27 to EPC’s second place time of 4:30.

Sophomore Brewer Link became a conference champion with a six-foot-two high jump, two inches better than the runner-up. After the top two, the next best score was five-foot-eight, so the top two separated themselves from the competition. Link also took second in the long jump.

Freshman Alexis Thalacker was the highlight of the day, absolutely showing out to win the 800, 1,600 and 3,200-meter races. Thalacker was dominant in all three races, winning each by multiple seconds. Sophomore Allison Sauve’s triple jump dominance continued, winning with a 33-10.75 score. Sauve also took third in the 300-meter hurdles and fifth in the long jump.

Spring Valley missed out on an individual title; however, they did have some notable individual performances. Senior Carter Anderson took second in the shot put, the girls 4x200 finished second behind Elk Mound and freshmen Stella Mathison and Jada Hoolihan tied for second in the high jump.
