CLARA CITY — Broken records, personal bests, lost shoes — the Camden Conference track meet had it all on Thursday in Clara City.
With the weather actually cooperating, many athletes turned in top performances Thursday at the Camden Conference track meet in Clara City.
The Canby-Minneota girls won the meet with 177 team points. The Lancers were followed by RCW (158), RTR-LH/LB (64), CMCS (60), Lakeview (42), MACCRAY (31) and TMB (22).
C-M’s Dana Kraus won the 1600-meter (5:57.68) and the 3200-meter (12:32.23) runs.
According to C-M head coach Ben Miska, Kraus has run very well all year. “She turned in a little slower time today, but she’s been pretty consistent in that 5:50 range,” said Miska. “Most meets, she’s been in the top three for both the mile and two- mile. I’ve been very pleased with her. She’s only a freshman and I’m looking for her to continue to improve and build toward subsections and then get to sections.
