A week of ups and downs for
the GHV boys track team
It was a week of highs and lows
for the Garner-Hayfield-Ventura boys
track team, as they finished at the top
of the pack in one meet, and at the bot-
tom of another.
Lake Mills Bulldog Invitational
A team effort helped the GHV
boys to a second place finish at the Lake in 1:05.88.
Mills Bulldog Invitational on Thursday,
April 14. The Cardinals racked up 114
points. Lake Mills won the seven-team
meet with 129 points.
“Our goal is to have everyone
contribute to team points,” said Coach
Kelsey Steffens. “The boys have had to
step up and compete in different roles
and they are doing so with a fantastic
attitude.”
That “can-do” attitude paid off
with four individual first place fin-
ishes. Ray Cataldo won the 800 me-
ter run with a time of 2:07.89. Logan
Dalbeck ran the 1600 meter run in a
time of 4:41.64. Chase Smith won the
3200 meter run with a time of 9:52.73
and Sam Cataldo won the 400 meter
hurdles in 57.35.
Picking up second place finishes
was Sam Cataldo in the 110 meter hur-
dles with a time of 16.29. Ezra Marro-
quin ran the 200 meter dash in 24.65.
Marroquin and Johnathan
O’Connor finished in third and fourth
place respectively in the 400 meter
dash. Marroquin’s time was 53.61 and
O’Connor finished in 54.26.
David Cook picked up a third
place finish in the 100 meter dash with
a time of 12.30.
The 4x100 meter relay team of
Marroquin, Connor Shaw, Cook and
Sam Cataldo won the event with a time
of 45.53.

GHV boys post 6-1 record
The Garner-Hayfield-Ventura
boys golf team improved their record
to 6-1 in action last week.
The Cardinals beat North Union
and Belmond-Klemme in a home
meet held on Monday, April 11. The
meet was close, with GHV topping
North Union by two strokes, 175-
177. Belmond-Klemme didn’t post a
team score.
The Card’s success came from
consistent scores on the cool and
windy day. Grady Umbarger and
Matthew Heinemann led the team
with a 42 and 43 respectively. Parker
Olsen, from North Union, was the
meet medalist with a 38. Umbarger
was the runner-up.
Tyler Obermann shot a solid 44,
while Brandon Bell’s 46 rounded out
the Cardinal’s score.
On Friday, April 15, GHV com-
peted in a triangular at Spring Val-
ley Golf Course in Livermore, Iowa.
