The Marion High School girls track team finished fifth Thursday at Hesston, its best placement all season.

Kaelyn Thierolf led the Warriors with first-place finishes in the 1600-meter run at 5 minutes, 49 seconds, and the 3200 with a time of 12:36.7.

Whitney Gordon also placed first in the high jump with a personal best leap of 5 feet, 2 inches.

The boys team also placed fifth.

Colten Johnson won the javelin with a throw of 156-3.

“It was great to get Colten back into the pole vault,” coach Grant Thierolf said. “We have four very good vaulters and that depth is something that we can use as we go into the league meet.

“We are becoming pretty consistent in our performances, not going up and down from week to week and that shows some maturity and some toughness,” Grant Thierolf said.

The Heart of America League Track meet is Friday at Bethel College in Newton.
