This particular meet is always one of those that’s a guessing game whether the weather will cooperate in order to have the meet. This year was one of those years the meet was a reality.
Making their way to Slayton were teams from Heron Lake-Okabena/Fulda, Russell-Tyler-Ruthton, Wabasso, Windom Area, and Worthington.
MCC’s Aaron Johnson, a junior, was a contender all last season in the hurdle events and looks to make an impact again this year.
Johnson finished third in the 100-meter event – just missing second by a split second 12.48 to 12.49.
